\/>\nthings that make you wonder how they&#8217;re poss-<br \/>\nbile.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever watched a rider get a<br \/>\nhorse doing things when it doesn&#8217;t look like<br \/>\nthe rider is doing anything&#8230;that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m<br \/>\ntalking about.<\/p>\n<p>When we filmed Sarah Jarvis, she<br \/>\nshowed how to do many of those things.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sara Jarvis Feather Lite Rein Control\" href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/sarahjarvis-feather-lite-rein-control\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click HERE For Your Sara Jarvis DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sarah contends (and I agree) that<br \/>\nyou don&#8217;t need to pull on a horse to get &#8217;em<br \/>\nturning and stopping.<\/p>\n<p>Horses don&#8217;t like to be pulled and<br \/>\njerked on anyway.<\/p>\n<p>So how do they know what to do when<br \/>\nyou ask them?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a process that teaches the horse<br \/>\nwhat to do when asked.<\/p>\n<p>Most people don&#8217;t get that when you<br \/>\nask a horse for something that they won&#8217;t do<br \/>\nit because they don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re asking.<\/p>\n<p>It is NOT (normally) because they&#8217;re<br \/>\nbeing belligerent.<\/p>\n<p>So, you simply have to explain it to<br \/>\nthem.<\/p>\n<p>And you have to explain it in a way<br \/>\nthey understand.<\/p>\n<p>It has to be done often.<\/p>\n<p>Once it&#8217;s been done again and again<br \/>\nand again, they start to get it pretty good<br \/>\nat it.<\/p>\n<p>When Sarah shows how to teach a horse<br \/>\nto move off the slightest rein touch, she uses<br \/>\na whip.<\/p>\n<p>Fist, Sarah discusses the Direct and<br \/>\nIndirect Rein.<\/p>\n<p>The Direct Rein is the rein used away<br \/>\nfrom the horse. \u00a0Look for the hip to move away<br \/>\nto follow the rein.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, once he moves from the rein,<br \/>\nthe rein returns back to neutral which is about<br \/>\nan inch or inch and a half from his neck.<\/p>\n<p>When you move the rein away, reinforce<br \/>\nit with the whip by tapping on the horse.<\/p>\n<p>The horse moves himself back to where<br \/>\nthe rein is back to neutral position.<\/p>\n<p>Then if the horse moves forward instead,<br \/>\nuse the halt position where you turn the other<br \/>\nway. \u00a0Elevate the lead rope, then ask for the<br \/>\ndirect rein aid again.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to ignore the negative and<br \/>\nreinforce the positive.<\/p>\n<p>And as long it&#8217;s not life-threatening,<br \/>\nignore it.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve taught this to your horse<br \/>\nsomething astonishing happens.<\/p>\n<p>When you move your rein and get the<br \/>\nslightest contact on his neck, he moves his<br \/>\nhead.<\/p>\n<p>When I say slightest contact, I mean<br \/>\nas light as a fly touching him.<\/p>\n<p>Horses can definitely feel that slight<br \/>\ncontact. \u00a0In fact, there&#8217;s a layer of muscle<br \/>\njust below the skin designed to feel the slightest<br \/>\ntouch.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sara Jarvis Feather Lite Rein Control\"

follows his head after he&#8217;s<br \/>\nmoved it you get that special effect of the<br \/>\nhorse moving as if he&#8217;s reading your mind.<\/p>\n<p>This is something I think many a horse<br \/>\nowner should try on their horse.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>It teaches you that you don&#8217;t have to<br \/>\npull on the horse.<\/p>\n<p>It teaches you just how sensitive to<br \/>\ntouch a horse really is.<\/p>\n<p>It teaches you patience.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230;it&#8217;s fun to have your horse respond<br \/>\nto your rein aids like this.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it&#8217;s pretty easy to do.<\/p>\n<p>If
