I’m glad the post was beneficial and helped remind you about what’s important to you. You did the right thing for you and your horse by getting off and reassuring Mille that you’re there for him and you’re listening. I’m sure that made him feel even more connected to you. I’m sure next time out on that same trail he will be more confident. Keep up the good work! 🙂

When I now read your recommendation, I feel much better. That’s exactly how I should have done it. Yes, what did I do then? Mille was stubborn and did not want to take more than one step at a time when we rode out. OK, I thought, I jumped off and led him on the walk, although I thought he should be able to cope as he was accompanied by another horse with rider. Now and then even the other horse was a little nervous, could be due to the wind blowing a lot? Anyway, I walked next to the horse the whole walk and Mille felt very calm and willing and that was the important thing for me. So the question comes, why be disappointed then? Thank you Teddie, you highlight what is important in horse training!
