Fundamentals of Horsemanship – The Backup
AQHA teamed with La Cense Montana to develop AQHA's Fundamentals of Horsemanship, a comprehensive guide to improve your relationship with your horse. This lesson demonstrates how to teach your horse to respond to light pressure on the halter to back up. Since horses instinctively oppose pressure, there are other positives from this exercise including respect, control and safety. Visit the How-To Channel, sponsored by Tractor Supply.
