Re: [RC] Fw: Slowing down speedy horse (Easy Early to Win Later) - Heidi SmithYes it seems counter intutative but it worked like a charm with her. Drop the reins she would slow, try to hold her back she would speed up. Actually, that's exactly the way race horses run. When you ease up on the reins, they slow down. When you get a good hold on them (and in fact, race riders take a "cross" with the reins on the horse's neck so that the horse actually can pull against its own neck, instead of just on the rider's arms) they speed up.
