This is one of the things I have noticed with many people and all kinds of horses. "Whoa" is used to mean too many things To stop - as it should be, but also to slow down, to stop fidgeting, as a calming word when they're nervous, etc. In my opinion, whoa is too important to be used so frequently.

training - the rest of the story
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is from Joel Harman So the trainer falls then asks the horse to stop so she will not get drug(dragged?) Horse does not stop. "flight" response took over. Horse gets worked more. Does the horse learn to stop when the trainer asks it to? Did the lesson end when the horse stopped when asked? Whoa means stop moving foward when the human asks - no matter what is going on behind the horse - no matter what the horse wants to do. Whoa means stop moving foward - now.
