Horses Are &#8220;Into Pressure&#8221; Animals<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what it means for us.<\/p>\n<p>When your horse feels pressure he&#8217;ll have<br \/>\na built-in tendency to push back.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever pushed on a horse and he<br \/>\nwouldn&#8217;t budge or he pushed back&#8230;this is why.<\/p>\n<p>Just like it is natural for your horse<br \/>\nto eat, it is natural for him to push against<br \/>\npressure.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, he has to be taught to &#8220;yield&#8221; to<br \/>\npressure.\u00a0 Just this subtle yet powerful piece of<br \/>\ninformation often stops the frustrations of horse<br \/>\nowners.<\/p>\n<p>Often, this is blown by an impatient horse<br \/>\nowner because this takes time to do and the horse<br \/>\nowner doesn&#8217;t understand that.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you want to teach your horse<br \/>\nto yield to your leg pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Do you get on the saddle and start with<br \/>\nyour leg?<\/p>\n<p>You can if you like a workout, can hold<br \/>\nyour leg in a position for a l-o-n-g time and have<br \/>\nthe patience of Job.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, do it from the ground.\u00a0 Every<br \/>\nthing taught from the ground transfers to the<br \/>\nsaddle.\u00a0 It may have to be refined&#8230;but it still<br \/>\ntransfers.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if you start by teaching your horse<br \/>\nto move his forequarters to the right, start by<br \/>\nputting a little pressure on his left side.\u00a0 Apply<br \/>\npressure in the area just behind his left elbow.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still unsure, go ahead and put<br \/>\nthe saddle on and get on him.\u00a0 Put your left foot<br \/>\nforward a little.<\/p>\n<p>Notice where you&#8217;re touching the horse when<br \/>\nyou apply pressure.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll apply the pressure from<br \/>\nthe ground when teaching him.\u00a0 You need to apply the<br \/>\npressure in the same area from the ground as you will<br \/>\nfrom the saddle.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, Mr. Horse won&#8217;t &#8220;get it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Same goes for applying pressure to move<br \/>\nhis hindquarters, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Never, never, ever (did I say &#8220;never&#8221;?)<br \/>\nstart teaching to move from pressure by applying<br \/>\nheavy pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Always start with light pressure.\u00a0 You<br \/>\nultimately want your horse to move from light<br \/>\npressure.<\/p>\n<p>If you teach him to move from heavy pressure,<br \/>\nyou will wear yourself out!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Teach him to move from light pressure.\u00a0 Any<br \/>\ntime you apply a few ounces of pressure from a leg<br \/>\naid or a rein pull&#8230;you want Mr. Horse to react.<\/p>\n<p>This takes time and patience to teach but<br \/>\nis crucial in horse training.<\/p>\n<p>Also, when you apply pressure, try to make<br \/>\nthe applicator of pressure as similar to the<br \/>\naid as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, when you apply pressure with<br \/>\nyour foot just behind his elbow, do your best to<br \/>\nreplicate the aid.<\/p>\n<p>And that means you&#8217;ll likely be using your<br \/>\nhand to replicate what your foot will feel like.\u00a0 So<br \/>\nwhen using your hand to teach moving from pressure,<br \/>\ntry to make it feel like what your foot will feel like<br \/>\nwhen the horse feels it.<\/p>\n<p>Does that make sense?<\/p>\n<p>One of the best examples I can think of<br \/>\nin showing this is from Sam Burrell.<\/p>\n<p>Sam is one of our featured trainers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" title=\"Read More About Sam Burrell's DVD HERE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read More About Sam Burrell&#8217;s DVD HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He goes over this in a LOT of<br \/>\ndetail and how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to watch this &#8211; it&#8217;ll create a dramatic<br \/>\nchange in how you work with your horse and you<br \/>\nwill be amazed at what YOU can do!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" title=\"Read More About Sam Burrell's DVD HERE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read More About Sam Burrell&#8217;s DVD HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>OK.\u00a0 That&#8217;s it for today!\u00a0 Stay safe with your horses.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
