Richard Boatwright thank you!

Richard Boatwright what if they're already dull? My 7 year old QH mare often does not want to move out, either on the ground or under saddle. I've been watching your videos and working on the cluck, and doing your groundwork. We've just started riding this week and it's going so well. Thank you! 

Richard Boatwright, thank you! I actually do start with turning her loose in the roundpen and working on the code each day right now, and knocking the fresh off. I watched the first few colt starting videos with Magnolia and that was really helpful. Last night I really started to get what you mean by send them out, let them "run into it," and draw them back to you. I could see my mare making progress. We're on the right track. I need to stay where I'm at and stick with it until she has the softness to move on. 

Thank you Lucas Truax!

Richard Boatwright cool!

Katherine Cosper in the videos, Richard Boatwright says that they're a 1/2" double braided poly. It's a rope between 12 and 20 feet long with no hardware. I'm looking at ordering a 1/2" by 20' marine grade double braided nylon rope from amazon. Maybe Richard Boatwright has some insight about particular ropes and where to get them? 

Richard Boatwright thank you. I was using my 14’ leadrope and it felt a bit short.

I just watched How To Get A Horse Soft... It sure helps me! When you talk about getting their mind first, I know I'm in the right place. My mare is bracy and sounds a lot like Matt's. This video helped me understand the problem and the solution better. Thanks Richard!

Richard Boatwright, I may have been overthinking it. Last night, I ground tied her in the arena, brushed her, and lunged her when she was snappy. It didn't take long at all for the behavior to stop when I did this.
