An excerpt from "Rein In Your Horse's Speed Online Course":
Trust me — changing your thoughts will make a big difference very quickly. But you should also find a horse-training clinic or a nearby trainer who can watch you and guide you. If you can't afford to ride in a clinic, go observe one. Ask tons of questions and especially watch the trainer's hands. Make note of when he releases and guesstimate the pressure he's using to get things done. Tell yourself "If he can do it, I can do it."
Now, here's your assignment: Read "An Exercise For When You Can't Ride: Teach Yourself What A Give Really Feels Like." It discusses your use of the reins and sheds some light on just how much lighter your hands can be. Also, here's a riding exercise you should begin practicing called "Steer the Tail." (There's also a follow-up article filled with "What-If's" that you should read here.) (rpt)
