Groundwork: Walking on a Lead Line

We find that one of the most under utilized training opportunities is every time you walk your horse on a lead rope. In this video I show you how to get the horse to stay right at your side even on a loose lead. This level of focus and staying right with us helps tremendously with trailer loading and walking your horse by scary objects. By doing this every time you walk your horse you will develop more trust and respect with your horse and work towards becoming the herd leader each time you lead your horse. Smokey had been on pasture for a couple of months before this video so you will see that he has a hard time keeping up when I walk a little faster. I show one of the ways we can get a horse to move their feet if they are dragging their feet and not keeping up with us.
