I would suggest looking at Parrelli's 7 games or John Lyons methods. I slightly prefer Lyons. Basically when you want to feet to move they must move, Mine refused to go forward one time but he would go backwards so I turned him round and we backed up - for100 yards to where I wanted him to go...

[ QUOTE ] What do horses need to go barefoot. I've seen you comment on a few ocassions that many owners cannot provide what's needed for their horses to go barefoot - but you've never actually said what is needed to be provided?? [/ QUOTE ] Could I suggest you read a book called "Feet...
