Franklin Levinson from our community, wrote a great article relying on his years of experience as a trainer.
Perhaps you may have noticed that usually within one minute of stopping a horse after asking for some moderate movement (or almost any movement or input of energy) that the horse will sigh and then lick and chew. This sighing means the same for the horse as it does for us humans.

I am currently training a 9 year old gelding that has never been taught basic riding cues. My problem is that whenever I try to lope him or back him up he turns his head to the right and refuses to do what I am asking. Does anyone have any advice on how to correct this problem? Thanks in advance

My horse wants to travel at a trot or canter with his nose near the ground. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm just lunging him or s sitting on him, but he doesn't do it all the time.

So now that I've bought Honey the Horse and have found that I am pretty clueless I have started reading up on horse training. I've found some very good tips. Of course I haven't actually tried them yet, but they seem to make a lot of sense so I am going to post a summarized version of what I have learned.

I tried longing Pixie today. Oh boy- that was an adventure! She started out ok, but after a couple of circles, she stopped, faced me with her ears up and wouldn't budge.

Now, one thing is that I was longing her on a longe
