- motivate to go faster by initially asking to go REALLY slow
- if they slow down without you asking in the round pen, hit the correction spot on the ground, not the horse
- rewards: RESTING, scratching, treats
- a horse coming to you with her ears back is dominance; in that situation, drive her away before asking her to come back again
- match energy; she’ll like you more
- have a plan!
- motivate with treats when she’s lazy not when she’s willing; only when you have to
- keep her busy so she can’t think about anything else
- don’t hold her tighter when she’s freaking out
- don’t look at her unless she stops, stay on track
- keep track of her while she’s circling w/o being obvious (even when she's freaking out) -- stay focused
- have stuff in the way of traveling circle so she has to think
- if she stops or comes in circling w/o you asking, pull her in half-way and Send!
Touch It:
- slow down right before your touch it
Catching:
- walk toward zone 5 and then tag her until she looks
