Trail Training

When you’re out on the trail, don’t just put your horse on auto-pilot and gab away with friends; use the opportunity to train him. Practice softening and suppling his five body parts by bending him around bushes, practicing serpentines in and out of trees, etc. The more you make the horse move his feet forwards, backwards, left and right, the more he’ll concentrate on you instead of finding something to spook at on the trail.
