Tech Tip Tuesday

Tech Tip Tuesday: When it comes to training there is no right or wrong in terms of technique. Training has to be what works for you, and what your horse understands. Training is all about consistency and always asking the question the same every time and rewarding him for trying or giving the correct answer. If you teach your horse to pick up the left lead by pulling on his left ear and your consistent with your aids and your horse responds willingly, that is training, it's just not very marketable or practical, but it's training. - Steve Kutie
