[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 588122, member: 6496"] Spinandslide hit the nail on the head. A horse is a large animal and a smack isn't going to hurt it. I'm not advocating animal abuse or cruelty, but when my two year old gelding that I'm starting turns to bite my stirrup/feet, he gets a quick one in the kisser. When my four year old mare started testing me the summer of her third year when roping, when got the knot end between her ears. Right now she's as reliable as the sun coming up in the east. I agree with everyone that you need to stop this NOW. Get your self a pair of spurs and use them responsibly. If she stops and refuses to go, start with verbal commands, progress to squeezing with your legs, then moving to the spurs. I think Spinandslide also said to turn the animals head to the side with forward motion. Again I agree. When a horse won't go forward you have to disengage their front end to get them moving. Turning, don't always go to the same side though, is a great way to get them to move. If you need any other help, please ask! Everyone here is very helpful and knowledgeable! [/QUOTE]
