Find it on the No Worries Club: Horse Won’t Move Forward in an Indoor Arena

NWCfind

A No Worries Club member asks Clinton: I am having a problem of getting my horse to move out when we’re in an indoor arena. He will take two steps or go up to halfway around the arena, and then he stops and no amount of force will get him to go forward. I have used my legs, spurs, whips, rein ends, etc. to no avail. The spurs, whips, and spanking with the rein ends seems to accelerate the problem. I know it is going to take a while to resolve this because it has been happening for two years now. Where do I start? He is fine outdoors. I started doing your groundwork exercises in January.

Listen to the advice Clinton offers by logging on to the No Worries Club website and going to the video library or by logging on to the Downunder Horsemanship app.

The No Worries Club website is home to hundreds of hours of training video content available to members only. This exclusive content includes full-length TV shows, Q&A’s with Clinton that cover a variety of training topics, a Testing the Method series that focuses on the Fundamentals and Intermediate levels of the Method, and past No Worries Club DVDs.
