Teach Your Horse To Use His Hindquarters

Wanna help your horse develop and use his hindquarters more?

Ride him up and down steep hills.

Before you do though, I suggest you have control over him. Thus, when you ask him to stop, he knows to stop.

And be sure to do it in places where you feel safest. Don’t be around a bunch of wire fencing, posts, holes, etc.

Now as you go up the hill, pick a point you want to go to. Walk slowly, straight, and don’t let him get chargey.

You don’t want a horse to charge up hill or down because it’s a great way for you to get hurt.

Remember, a horse thinks much more clearly when he’s walking. And is far less to get excited when going about his work calmly. On the other hand, you want to drive him up that hill. So you have to balance it out. horse training articles

Be sure to stay in proper riding position so he can move as he needs to. As you come down the hill, try stopping him and stay standing for a moment. This will test the control you have on him.

But remember if you stop and stand on a hill for long periods of time, turn your horse perpendicular to the hill.

As you go uphill, hold on to his mane if you need to balance yourself. Don’t pull on the reins or use the saddle horn.

You will find that practicing this with your horse will help develop collection.

And speaking of collection, you can learn a lot about collection by watching horse training videos of expert horse trainers.
