Don't practice wrong, or babysit. Teach your horse their job, and give them responsibility in it.

Remember, repetition without change causes frustration in your horse. After your horse (and you) understand the cue, raise your expectations.....great job Pam Binning Smith on hip, shoulder, hip today!
Bonnie and Whisky working on straightness (staying between the reins) and engaging the hindquarters. It's good to be outside!

Ho Means Ho
Teaching the response to the most important word you horse can know. Using the bridle to teach reinforces the importance of the correct response for the vocal cue, creating respect for the bridle. Taking the horse into the back up teaches him he cannot run through the bridle.

Ranchy Riding- a Guide exercise steering the neck à nd moving the shoulder. Being more mystery less history in what direction you ask your horse to go gets their brain on you faster. This is a great exercise to use when your horse is concerned about other things.
If you are interested in learning how to develop your horsemanship skills and your horses increased performance, I am happy to help you achieve your goals.
