Pony Coaching Voice Commands.

To the uninitiated, voice commands for the pony are nothing less than words.

Since they won't talk our language we should think thru what we assert to them when we need certain replies from them.

Take the word "whoa" for example. Frequently the word "whoa" is claimed when the rider wants the pony to decelerate.

Telling your pony a command when you mean for it to do something else is fibbing to your pony.

Therefore , when you are saying "whoa" to your pony, you should only say it because you need to stop.

Therefore , if you would like a pony to back up then say "back".

Next, when using voice commands be certain to associate an action with the command.

If you use commands that sound threatening ( by screaming a command ), you can basically raise your pony's heart rate, scare and confuse him, and he may take longer to learn.

What other reasons are there for napping? One is the pony simply does not know what to do. Read more on Showjumpers. If your pony snoozes in a land he is acquainted with ( ie. The agony could eventually become intolerable and the pony simply will not move.

Generally horses will react to bad fitting tack by rearing or bucking. The same can be true if he sees unfamiliar objects. If you find they are getting nappy around certain things then you could spot a pattern. A pony that spooks should be treated kindly. He should not be forced into stepping over his "fear boundary".

Then the owner was getting frustrated and kept repeating his command even louder. The British talking man was making an attempt to communicate with the spanish talking man. Use the word when you need a certain action - only say the word when you need that particular action.
