why do you rub their hips and necks like that ?

[@CompetitiveHorsemanship]

We play the friendly game which is rubbing their body first, then you ask with four phases to move that body part..If you don’t rub first, eventually they’re gonna assume what you want them to do and start what they think you might ask, before you ask, so you have to rub first which is the friendly game and then start to apply the pressure, that’ll keep them from assuming what you want and starting before you want them to start.. So assuming, an example of that, you go to get on their back and you put a foot in the stirrup and they start to takeoff before you ask them to go, there assuming because they’ve always went forward once you get on, they start going forward before you even get in the saddle, if that makes any sense to you..

You should listen to your video before you post it it might be a good video I don't know you can't hear anything you're saying

[@CompetitiveHorsemanship]
