Would you do this every time before you ride or just a one time thing??

Hey. thank u for great vid. of corz, i got a question: what to do with a horse who is really confused by this "flexing" thing. I stand and keep the same posture as you etc etc, but the horse doesnt just walk, he freaks out, trotts away and when i pull he moves his whole body. I know i do sth wrong, just havent figured out yet what... any suggestions??

Hi, I usually stay with them until they figure it out. Perhaps you could reward your horse for simply stopping instead of both stopping and "giving". Once your horse knows they should not move, add the extra element of having them give before releasing the pressure. If that does not work, other exercises like desensitizing to make sure your horse is not afraid and exercises like backing up, yielding the hindquarters, ect. to ensure respect will help a little bit.
