- LEAD THE HORSE BEHIND YOU AT THE DISTANCE YOU WANT HIM TO BE – THREE FEET OR FIVE FEET OR TEN FEET AND HAVE HIM STAY AT THE DISTANCE YOU CHOOSE
- LEAD THE HORSE BESIDE YOU BOTH ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE. SAME AS ABOVE WITH YOU CHOOSING THE DISTANCE
- HAVE THE HORSE “STAND IN HIS OWN SPACE” AND STAY THERE – NO FORWARD, BACKWARD OR SIDEWAYS MOVEMENT. YOU CHOOSE THE DISTANCE FOR HIM TO BE AWAY FROM YOU
- HAVE THE HORSE BACK AWAY FROM YOU BY SHAKING THE LEAD ROPE
- MOVE THE HORSE’S HINDQUARTERS BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT BY USING YOUR BODY POSITION AND ENERGY
- MOVE THE HORSE’S FOREQUARTERS BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT BY USING YOUR BODY POSITION AND ENERGY. NOTE: THIS IS THE MORE DIFFICULT OF THE TWO MOVEMENTS
- HAVE THE HORSE PICK UP AND YIELD ALL FOUR FEET BY USING A ROPE. LATER, HAVE THE HORSE “GIVE” YOU HIS FEET WHEN YOU ASK FOR THEM. NOTE: THIS ALSO HELPS IN HOBBLE-TRAINING THE HORSE
- SEND THE HORSE PAST YOU ON A LATERAL LINE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT (AS OPPOSED TO CIRCLING AROUND YOU) AT THE WALK, TROT, AND CANTER. ADD A DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY BY DOING THIS IN A SPACE BETWEEN YOU AND A FENCE. THE HORSE SHOULD DO THIS MOVEMENT SMOOTHLY WITHOUT RUSHING THROUGH THE SPACE
- HAVE THE HORSE SIDE-PASS BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT BY USING ONLY YOUR BODY POSITION, ENERGY, AND THE LEAD ROPE
- HAVE THE HORSE CHANGE DIRECTION BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT BY USING YOUR BODY POSITION, ENERGY, AND LEAD ROPE WHILE HE IS TRAVELING ON A ROUND CIRCLE AND KEEP THE CIRCLE ROUND THROUGHOUT THE MOVEMENT – AT THE WALK, TROT, AND CANTER
