Soakin': When your horse has done something right, the best thing you can do is to leave it alone to soak up what has just happened. Just let it rest. You do this when the horse has accomplished the task with softness and give . If your horse is soft, it'll soak up the lesson because a horse's mind is like a sponge. When it's soft and pliable, it can soak up a lot. When it's stiff, it doesn't take on much.



The Leading Edge in Ground Control
$39.99 

<!--a-->The Leading Edge in Ground Control In this series, clinician and educator Chris Cox teaches you how to gain control of your horse on the ground and establish a foundation of communication that will translate into the saddle. With effective, step-by-step methods you will learn how to teach your horse to respect your space and move as directed. Without a roundpen or stick, Chris will show you how to master your communication with halter and lead rope alone. By relying on simple tools and authentic horsemanship, you will always be prepared to communicate effectively with your horse, anytime or anyplace. As Chris works with an untrained young horse, you will see first-hand what it takes to establish a solid foundation on the ground. Once you've mastered your groundwork in the arena or paddock, Chris will show you how to add some spice to your learning and use your newfound skills to traverse obstacles such as gullies, logs and trees. Runtime: 1 hour 3 minutes

 



I think the integrity of Chris' training speaks for itself. It is no dog and pony show. No glitz, no nonsense, just training.
