[QUOTE="Shari, post: 415603, member: 1848"] Bingo, Heather. Exactly the right wording. Haozi, lesson horses are often not the most energetic things around and often even horses that are well trained to leg cues take a lot of prodding to keep going simply because they dont have consistency from their riders, they'll have 8 different riders a day for 5 days. And it's kinda the nature of the beast...you would have a hard timeteaching a new rider to ride on a horse that instantly responded to every shift in the saddle. I don't like the spur til they bleed mentality, and think they should be taught the move forward cue, but every lesson horse Wee and Cgfg havebeen on needed that extra prodding. As they got more familiar with the horses and built their own confidence, they required less kicking to make things happen. [/QUOTE]
