Ask You Horse to Wait, Not Anticipate

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

When riding a horse, if you would like to be in control he needs to wait on his rider and not anticipate the next move. For me, the best way to teach a horse to wait on me is to do the opposite of what he is expecting to do.  If the horse thinks he is going to be turning right, turn him left.  If the horse thinks he will be jogging, then walk, stop, back or lope.  Change up the routine because when you ask your horse to wait on you, he will not only wait and not anticipate, but he will be paying attention waiting for the next cue.  A horse that is attentive to his rider is a much more enjoyable horse to ride.
