I think you will find that as your horse
does more and more hills, his muscle mass will increase and "pushing
instead of pulling" will become natural. I started a virtual flatlander 22
months ago and you should see him now! He does a running walk up the
steeper hills and a trot up the more moderate ones. Time and
conditioning will take care of this issue.
I am going camping in the mountains for a couple
of days and need some advice on how to help a flatlander horse to learn to
push up hills instead of pull up them. Any advice at all will be greatly
appreciated.
