Building a better relationship with your horse can open a world of possibilities for your teamwork – be it on the trail, on the ranch or in competition.

• Too much pressure can make a horse feel threatened by his handler.
• Focus on keeping you and your horse steady.
• Our actions can be a detriment to our horses if we're not careful.
• Sometimes a minimalist approach offers the most to your horse.
• We want to instill discipline in our horses, but we need it in ourselves as well. 
• Be a "thinking horseman" when you pick up the halter.
