off for\u00a0a wild ride and then slowing down a half-mile\u00a0later and THEN figuring out it&#8217;s okay now.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re in danger in he does.<\/p>\n<p>That window of time needs to be\u00a0a small as possible between him spooking\u00a0and looking to YOU.<\/p>\n<p>That will only happen when he sees you as\u00a0the leader and not just a lump on his back.<\/p>\n<p>As Brad says, if the horse is going\u00a0to see you as the one who&#8217;ll take care of him,\u00a0then YOU have to be the leader.<\/p>\n<p>How do you get that?<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t be a dictator because the\u00a0horse will rebel.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t be a wimp either because\u00a0the horse won&#8217;t gain confidence that you can\u00a0take care of him.<\/p>\n<p>You have to earn the horse&#8217;s respect\u00a0and you cannot demand it.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll get the respect by being the\u00a0leader, by educating the horse, by showing\u00a0them, by preparing them, and by having feel.<\/p>\n<p>See more of what Brad Myers reveals\u00a0in his DVD and interview by clicking on the\u00a0following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/meyers-little-things\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/meyers-little-things\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brad shows lots of &#8220;<strong>Little Things&#8221;<\/strong> you\u00a0can do to get the repsect.
