| When I started the “Click That Teaches” video lesson series, this was the video that I most wanted to make. Head lowering is a transforming exercise for many horses. Head lowering:
* puts an end to barging, rearing, bullying behavior.
* develops emotional control and stabilizes good behavior
* shifts the horse’s weight off its front end in preparation for advanced work
Most of us know that horses tend to be calmer when their heads are down. We know that dropping the horse’s head below the withers can have a calming effect, but this lesson takes you much further than that. Based on the John Lyon’s “Demand Cue to Calm Down”, you’ll learn how to reverse the horse’s natural tendency to pull against pressure.
