Sample Our Newsletter
"How to Pick Up Your Reins Like a Pro," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the Learning to Ride a Horse Series:
"One-handed rein exercises: Many training exercises call for us to use primarily one hand. You keep both hands on the reins, but one hand is "calling the shots." Notice I didn't say "one hand is doing all the work." Why? Because while "Rein A" may be doing the heavy lifting, "Rein B" needs to be ready to help out, pulling or handing back slack, for instance. What's the thinking behind using primarily one hand versus both at the same time? This has everything to do with the individual exercise – and is often covered in the description of that exercise – but I'll cover it briefly here: Pulling back evenly on two reins often causes the horse to line up the bones in his body. Like building blocks, he's "stacked," head to tail – and with very little effort he can stay that way allllllll day"

Trailer Training Horses
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 2:
"If you want your horse to withstand 100lbs of excitement, you better start building him up 2lbs at a time. A horse with terrific ground manners is going to be easier to teach to load (certainly safer) because he's been given a solid foundation. He's less apt to blow past you, to knock you over with his shoulder, to drag you off to the right, to back up a mile and so on.
Learning the information offered here in Days 1 and 2 will teach you (and your horse) what to do when you do approach the trailer and the horse throws you a curve. The very act of improving your horse's ground manners teaches you how to see specifically what needs to be corrected. For example: Is he threatening to knock you over with that shoulder? Drop back in your training: Get his head bowed toward you, his neck soft and the shoulder moving away."
