[QUOTE="hayray, post: 798380, member: 3046"] The response to pressure and avoidance to pressure applied by the riders aids are the primary principle that horses are trained by but is one of the most mis-understood concepts in horse psychology. Horses by instinct lean into or pull against pressure - (i.e. fly shaker response). Through proper timing by applying aids and releasing pressure a horse will move away from pressure. On an untrained horse if you get on and push with your spur the horse will resist and lean into the spur. Likewise, on the same horse if you pull on the reins the horse will toss the head or pull against the reins. Race horses are trained using the natural instinct to lean into the bit and run, no time is spent getting them to give to the bridle. ] [/QUOTE]
