Mara Carnevali *The answer might be the same one you already gave me, not the same as other people's, obviously.

Richard Yes, thank you very much.

But as you say, outside is never comfortable for the horse.

So, assuming I've worked well on his fears and the basics,

what could I do once he's outside and still doesn't want to proceed?

In the past, I've tried applying pressure on the obstacle, but in the videos you say that's a contradiction, because our goal is to make the thing that scares them become non-pressure.

I'm asking you this because it's happened to me many times in the past, with the horse I had.

I've worked the horse at home, in large spaces outside where I could move the horse's feet, but many times, precisely in the places where I couldn't do it, the horse refused to proceed.

And everyone I know who works with horses advised in that situation to apply pressure, make him back up, whip him, and if that didn't work, go home and turn him around on the lead rope.

I understand your answer might be the same, but what would you do in that specific situation?

Thank you very much.

What do you recommend if the horse is afraid, for example, of crossing ground grids, or moving forward on a trail where it's not possible to trot in a circle or allow him to escape to the magnet due to lack of space, slope, type of terrain, and/or because you're walking among other horses? Thank you very much.
