Follow my feet - a Holsitic Horse Handling Program Lesson Plan Preview
“Follow My Feet” is a great way to establish leadership and connection with your horse, and can be used to in a variety of different scenarios.
When a horse forces our feet to move, they are taking a role in leadership. When we move their feet, we take the leadership. Follow my feet allows you to expand on that leadership and turn it into a partnership.
This can be a good exercise for our pushy, bully type horses as we can be a bit more assertive when we have the halter on but is also a light, connective exercise for our more sensitive horse and when we get a break through with our bully type horses.
As with all Holistic Horse Handling Lesson Plans, it is groundwork, this time focusing on leadership and connection.
