Hi Clinton, a lot of the exercises, like the roundpenning and such, seem all very high energy and all about making the horse go really forward. I understand that when correcting a horse making them hustle and moving their feet in all directions is the correct thing to do. But sometimes it seems that even when they are loping just fine you ask for more energy. I breed and show western pleasure and hunt seat horses, is this going to make my horses go more forward when I need to train them to go slow?
