Boy, this is one of the absolute bestest ever training tools there
is.  Stop, wait for the big breath and/or at least
chewing/licking.  THEN go on.  

A human can say "Stop!  Wait a minute!  I need to think
this through!"  When one of us has a temper tantrum, how often
we can explain it in one word:  Stress.  Too much, too fast,
too little processing time.  Natural for a horse to do the same
under those circumstances.  Lif
