Wanna help your horse develop and
use his hindquarters more?
Ride him up and down steep hills.
Before you do though, I suggest you
have control over him. Thus, when you ask
him to stop, he knows to stop.
And be sure to do it in places where
you feel safest. Don't be around a bunch of
wire fencing, posts, holes, etc.
Now as you go up the hill, pick a
point you want to go to. Walk slowly,
straight, and don't let him get chargey.
You don't want a horse to charge
up hill or down because it's a great way
for you to get hurt.
Remember, a horse thinks much more
clearly when he's walking. And is far less
to get excited when going about his work
calmly.
On the other hand, you want to
drive him up that hill. So you have to
balance it out.
Be sure to stay in proper riding
position so he can move as he needs to.
As you come down the hill, try
stopping him and stay standing for a mom-
ment. This'll test the control you have on
him.
But remember if you stop and stand
on a hill for long periods of time, turn your
horse perpindicular to the hill.
As you go uphill, hold on to his mane
if you need to balance yourself. Don't pull
on the reins or use the saddle horn.
You will find that practicing this
with your horse will help develop collection.
And speaking of collection, you can
learn a lot about collection by watching horse
training videos of expert horse trainers.
So if you want to learn to train a
