Repetition: Repeating in small steps is a good way to help your horse to gain confidence and understanding. For instance, when you first put on a saddle pad, take it off again right away. Do this again and again until the horse understands that one step and has confidence that it is a safe thing. The horse needs to understand that pressure doesn't last forever. He needs to understand that the saddle goes on, but it comes off too. He needs to understand that he'll go in the trailer, but he's not trapped and will be able to get back off. The repetition makes the step a part of the horse's library of “knowns,” so that now that step can be built on without resistance.

I attended a clinic as an auditor. It was a fantastic learning experience! Chris did a great job adapting to each rider's needs and ability level throughout the course of the clinic. There is no doubt in my mind now - I'll be signing up for a 6 day clinic so that I can work with my horse instead of just watching from the sidelines!
