Been working with a gelding on trailering. Made good progress today. All 4 hooves in the trailer. Now to work on his "sticky feet!"

Just as much as I want my horses to lead respectfully beside me, I want them to lead well behind me. I hate feeling as if I’m dragging a horse behind me like a stolen dog. If I walk off or pick up my pace, I want my horse to be right there with me, coming off the halter pressure but staying a respectful distance away from me, not breathing down my neck.

To teach a horse to lead behind me, I use the Intermediate exercise Leading Behind. It teaches a pushy horse that wants to run over top of you to respect your space, and it gets a lazy horse that drags behind you to come forward off light halter pressure.

I find that this exercise works best when you do it at random times when the horse is least expecting it. It’s a test to see how quick he is to come off the halter pressure and follow you. When you’re leading him to or from the pasture, jog off and see what he does.

You’ll notice that if you practice the exercise when the horse is least expecting it, he’ll start to pay more attention to you because he knows that at any time you might make his feet move. – Clinton

During each training session with your horse, one of the questions should ask yourself is: Is there a crack in the foundation?

Invariably, as you progress your horse’s training, you’ll happen upon an area that requires you to go back and get your foundation better. Admittedly, this will happen more often at the beginning of your horsemanship journey as you’re working on building your experience. The more horses you work with and the more you add to your knowledge, the better you can get this learning curve down. However, this happens to even experienced horsemen. You’ll think you have something done well, but when you ask the horse for a more advanced maneuver, he’ll let you know you’ve got a hole in your foundation and he needs more help.

There’s no shame in realizing there’s a hole in your foundation and going back and fixing it. The only problem is when your foundation isn’t strong and you ignore it and continue pushing the horse. That isn’t fair to him and is just setting him up for failure. When you get into trouble, always go backwards, not forwards. – Clinton
