Many people struggle with good ways to motivate their horse to go forward…to WANT to go forward when asked. In this lesson, we discuss ways to help your horse go forward. By utilizing positive reinforcement we put something in it that the horse wants and values and this is a game-changer. We will discuss how to use targets and liberty leading to get your horse to respond to traditional cues. The process will change your horse’s association with this behavior. We will also discuss how to fade these tools so that your horse will happily respond to your cues.
