is going to do.<\/p>\n<p>Or, maybe nudges you with his nose<br \/>\nand pushes on you.<\/p>\n<p>Those things are unacceptable and<br \/>\nshould never be allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Why?, you ask&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s a respect issue.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s important about respect?<\/p>\n<p>This.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have it, you better<br \/>\nnot be riding your horse.<\/p>\n<p>If your horse doesn&#8217;t follow your<br \/>\nleadership, then you aren&#8217;t the leader &#8211; the<br \/>\nhorse is.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re out on the trail<br \/>\nconfronted with a hazardous situation where<br \/>\nyour life is in danger because you can&#8217;t control<br \/>\nyour horse&#8230;your horse will do what &#8220;he&#8221; wants&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not What YOU want!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Is that an important difference?<\/p>\n<p>Dang right it is!<\/p>\n<p>This is a partnership and you better be<br \/>\nthe lead partner.<\/p>\n<p>You better be the one who says when<br \/>\nhe can leave when you take off the halter.<\/p>\n<p>You better be the one who says he<br \/>\ncan trot when it&#8217;s time to trot.<\/p>\n<p>And so on.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, you must practice being strict<br \/>\nwith what you want from you horse.<\/p>\n<p>There is no maybe.<\/p>\n<p>There is no going left when you asked<br \/>\nhim to go right.<\/p>\n<p>Strict!<\/p>\n<p>And if you don&#8217;t get it from him, put<br \/>\nthe pressure on enough that you DO get it from<br \/>\nhim.<\/p>\n<p>Strict.<\/p>\n<p>Bein&#8217; strict isn&#8217;t being a bully.<\/p>\n<p>And bein&#8217; strict isn&#8217;t about abusing<br \/>\nyour horse in any way &#8211; ever!<\/p>\n<p>Bein&#8217; strict is about your safety and<br \/>\nenjoyment of the horse.<\/p>\n<p>You can be strict and loving at the<br \/>\nsame time.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a lot like parenting.<\/p>\n<p>But that begs the question of:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But how do you know what kinds of<br \/>\nthings you should expect from your<br \/>\nhorse?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Great question &#8211; I&#8217;m glad I asked it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>You simply have to learn what&#8217;s appropriate<br \/>\nand what isn&#8217;t.\u00a0 There&#8217;s lots to it.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s something you can easily learn if<br \/>\nyou don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best examples I have &#8220;EVER&#8221;
