If a horse is running over top of you while you're trying to desensitize him, take a step back and examine whether the issue at hand is really fear, or a lack of respect.
In this episode we deal with a horse that seems fearful AND disrespectful at the same time. We discuss what’s really going on under the surface, and where your priorities are from a training perspective. We also detail how we like to correct buddy sourness on the trail and instill good mental habits in a horse. Finally, we continue our series on advanced stops by discussing the "Cigar Exercise" for rundowns, and how to structure your rides throughout the week to build confidence and skill in young performance horses!
