Jasmin Eisenkolb stay with it.  I'm here if you need me.🙂

Saralyn Wallace This one is 5 now 😂 and she's pretty good with her feet.  We can make some more though.  What are you struggling with in particular?

Jasmin Eisenkolb Ok, this is a good question.  You'll need to use your body position to teach her that she can stop and relax.  I like to just quietly step in the horse's path (probably no flag needed) and let them stop. if they turn the other direction, I'll do it again.  The key is to makes sure to get the horse's attention without scaring them into going the other way.  Stay cool and use minimal motion to get what you want.  A video would certainly help.  I do think YouTube is the est option.  Or Google Drive.  Richard

Michelle Houle I don't know how I missed this comment.  My apologies.  How's it going with your filly?  I've found that most horses that won't respond to pressure have been desensitized to it.  The only solution is to use the cool mornings or a rope to get her moving.  The key to building that desire to move is to stop asking when she moves even if it's just a little bit.  Then, build on that over time.  It could take a while so don't give up.  

Kimberly Harrison That's great!  Good luck with him.🙂

It was a well put together, very professional event.  We met a lot of new friends and saw some old ones.  And had some good barbeque!🤠

Kimberly Harrison wow!  Thanks for all the ideas!  Jack and I will get on these ASAP.  Stay tuned.🙂

Kimberly Harrison sorry for the late reply!🙂. That slow walk is best addressed using an aid outside of the normal cues.  I will ask for an extended walk with a subtle cluck or maybe a squeeze, if the horse breaks into a trot, I will trot him in circles until he ralxes, then start over.  If he resists the forward motion, I'll follow up with a pop with my split reins, the tail of my rope, or a quirt.  If he trots from there, I circle.  If he slows down right away, I don't ask again, I just pop again.  Then, trot circles.  Eventually they figure out the desired speed and stay there willingly.  The constant cueing with your legs and seat is what makes them dull.  Ask once and expect them to get it.  Hope this helps.🙂

Jasmin Eisenkolb Awesome!  Keep us posted on your progress.
