An excerpt from "Rein In Your Horse's Speed Online Course":
The key in all of the exercises is this: You've got to look for every opportunity to relax those reins. Quit pulling. Horses aren't nags, neither should you be.
Now, you may have a horse that wants to take off at a dead run if you give him back any amount of rein. If that's the case, then you need to use the exercise assigned on Day 3, "Steer the Tail." Try your level best to ride with the least amount of pressure you can and each time the horse begins to speed up, take a single rein and turn his tail "the way you don't want to go." Example: Your horse speeds up, you take the left rein and apply the pressure it takes to get the left shoulder to stop and the hip to move several steps to the right.
Or, you can do the exercise described yesterday: Pick up a single rein and simply move the hip a step or two off the track he's on. Keep moving and do this over and over. (In the first exercise, "Steer the Tail," you stop moving forward, in yesterday's you don't.) (rpt)
