Tip #22: Backing up and Control
Backing up your horse, besides it's obvious advantages, is great for your horses stomach muscles and for your horses thinking side of his brain. Try it yourself - walk forward - see, you don't even think, just kind of daydream. Now, backup - notice how much more concentrated and aware and focused you are - the same goes for your little darling and his focus on YOU !
Some great horseman say that "the better a horse backs up and/or goes sideways, the better a horse he is".
Control: backup your horse around 3 barrels - see how you do - it's kind of fun!
