Very helpful. Great horse ! She listens

[@chriscummins4282]

Certainly useful for “us” that aren’t experienced but still interested in horse techniques and your wisdom . Thanks .

[@normajanderson7304]

Nice horse, nice explanation! I love the attitude of this horse

Interesting (our young son’s spur trained horse knew this backing que). As a contact rider (dressage, hunter, ex-race horse, event, gaited etc…) I’ve always taught mounts/students to simply think walk backwards: Sit up, keep the front door closed, with your legs squeeze one then the other…. then lightly squeeze one hand then the other….. Even the gaited horses have immediately marched backwards (back up, flexion at the poll). I can see how in working cow your method would be vital for going from gallop, halt, back, rollback. Thanks for sharing.

Teaching a rider how to ask and teaching the horse how to do something correctly is often very difficult.

[@owenseq]

@@timandersonhorsetraining so far seems harder to get the rider to listen.

I was taught to keep legs on sides too, but use seat, weight. I worked for someone who taught horses to stop when legs came off which is useful if it goes south lol. I remember when western pleasure horses got spurred to whoa lol.

Hello, how about alternating the leg cues, left, right, left, right to back up?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

Sometimes later but before you have to teach what the response you want to get.

[@JanHayward-b1e]

What if you don't wear spurs. Will it work the same with your heel?

[@timandersonhorsetraining]

No.
