is?<\/p>\n<p>That so, go out and make yourself<br \/>\nan obstacle course for you and your horse.<\/p>\n<p>Start with some simple pieces of PVC<br \/>\npipe you can lay on the ground at about 20<br \/>\nfeet apart.<\/p>\n<p>Start by asking your horse to walk<br \/>\nbetween them in a serpentine fashion.<\/p>\n<p>You may be surprised to find your<br \/>\nhorse may argue with you about doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>He may be scared of them because he&#8217;s<br \/>\nnot seen them before.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s a little secret for you.<\/p>\n<p>If he won&#8217;t go between them, then<br \/>\nspread them further apart.<\/p>\n<p>And understand that it&#8217;s okay if you<br \/>\nhave to do that.\u00a0 You&#8217;re simply adjusting for<br \/>\nyour horse&#8217;s comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be able to bring the poles<br \/>\ncloser together over time.<\/p>\n<p>Now what&#8217;s the purpose of this?<\/p>\n<p>One, it&#8217;s another thing to get your<br \/>\nhorse used to.<\/p>\n<p>Two, and very important, you become<br \/>\naware of what your horse&#8217;s &#8220;Uh Oh Signs&#8221;
