- Working with a dull horse and showing you a technique to make the horse more responsive. Kicking harder is not the answer.

Good morning
The owner will need to put a consistent effort in working her regularly to avoid undoing what you are fixing.
If they turn her out and only ride her a couple times a week old habits die hard.
Very nice looking horse there. Balance in the feet.
Take care
Good insight. Yes this owner want to show ranch riding and limited cow horse and is taking regular lessons. The owner is new to showing these events but not new to riding so I think will be a good fit. Thanks for watching and posting your comments
I have a Haflinger mare that is very lazy, sometimes I can't resist touching her side with a stick (I never wear spurs), is it bad?
Why is a stick ok but spurs aren't?
@@timandersonhorsetraining I do not wear spurs because I am not sure I can use them properly, so I am afraid of causing more damage than good. I simply woud have appreciated the opinion of an expert.
I wasn't stating any comparison.
@@danielalawrence8048 that's fine, your reason was going to impact my answer. Start learning to use a spur. 2 reason why you need the spur instead of the stick. First she knows when you have the stick and when you don't. You'll end up always needing to have it which will become cumbersome. 2nd lazier horses tend to be heavier on their front end. Forcing a push from the back with a stick before lifting the front often creates a horse that throws its head up for upward transitions which often leads to small rears in transitions. By pushing for forward with a stick you are getting the forward but not addressing the problem that causes the lack of forward. Using a spur and teaching leg yields and lifting the front corrects the actual problem.
@@timandersonhorsetraining Thanks a lot Tim for taking the time to answer my question. I knew you would give me a very good reason to change my approach.
It is rare to find an expert dedicating time to "beginners", your videos have been so useful to me and the explanation also very clear. Thank you again!
Very interesting explanation. Thank you so much for the clarity! I just love your videos and explanations.
