This month's 'Tip for the Ride' is a fun one, but probably one of the more difficult to master, as it requires FEEL, Timing, Balance, Rhythm, all multi-tasked together in order to communicate with the horse. Dubbed the "No Smoking Drill" you'll watch Alice demonstrate using the flag and the horseman's halter & lead, a ground exercise to send your horse sideways on a circle, while the flag draws a "No Smoking" sign on his side at a very rapid pace! In no way is this a "De-Sensitizing" exercise...Just the opposite actually. This "Sensitizes" your horse to follow the intentions of your mind and body language. Check it out by clicking here:
