Hi Anna, >>>I thought I remembered someone else talking about their horse not liking horses behind them. I think both were in the context of horses on trails and don't know if this would help them. Might be worth a try. What do you think Robyn?
Absolutely, it is one of the steps we use with horses on the trail. It was one of the suggestions I made to Susan for Whisper. It would be interesting for Janice to use this at the field trials but I might start it in a smaller group. HOWEVER, I can just hear the comments "what happened to your horse?" I am sure Janice could think of some good comments that might be made : )) IME, these kinds of exercises can replace things like the squeeze exercises because they really show a horse more about where they are in space and it really helps them learn, not just put up with things.
