Re: reining horse video
Have you ever trained your dog to sit? What did you say to your dog after you told it to sit? You probably told it to "stay." Why did you do that? If the dog sits, he has to stay. In the same respect, I don't have a "stop" on my horse. I only have a "go" and a "back". Now, I may only want the horse to stop but in his mind he should be thinking "back up." If I were to ride forward and then stop and then apply more pressure to the rein to back up, then I'm teaching three cues there. One "go," two "stop," three "back up."
