Is my horse lazy, a brat, cranky, bored, out of sorts, not interested or rude?

Maybe none of these things are true. Maybe you feel this way because your horse is not fitting in with your plans for the day?

All of you who responded had such great answers in how to train Browny, my virtual horse that is so resistant. My blog is attracting kind, knowledgeable and effective horse people that appear to enjoy training for training sake alone.

It is surprising to me to see well-trained dressage horses leading from place to place as badly as they do. Leading is such a valuable tool for the connection and relaxation you have with a horse when you ride, especially a dressage horse.  A horse can be well trained, but if the willingness and acceptance are not there the performance suffers and so does the horse.

The purpose of my blog is to make a connection with you. I can connect with people all over the world, thanks to the computer, and we can explore and correspond with one another on the experiences we’re having with our horses in our life! I also use the blog as a way, to educate, to raise consciousness, and to use philosophical viewpoints that will lead to a better relationship with horses; for training, partnering, and performance.

A few benefits you will gain from practicing this lesson is how to communicate with your body language, how to get your horse to wait, your horse learns to come when called, and that your horse can move away when you ask him to. Sounds Good! If you have any questions please post them.
