Melissa, I too have a horse who backs up quickly when he is unconfident. I can however control him with a one rein stop and thought perhaps you could try it. He cannot continue to back up when his head is pulled to one side and his hind quarters are disengaged.

Interesting article with good examples. It’s so important for people to realize that a horse’s behavior doesn’t always mean that he’s being disobedient or purposely misbehaving.

when my horse doesn’t want to go to where I am trying to get him to go he backs ups and keeps backing up…he refuses to stop…I have no control until he decides to stop…

Good article. I’d like to see more articles like this, on ground training and general behaviour problems, rather than just riding. Training a good riding horse is done from the ground up
