Hi, when I want my horse to walk faster, I
walk with him.
I just exaggerate his walk step by step with
my thigh moving a little bit foward as he puts a front leg
foward & turning my waist slightly. Then as soon as he goes at
the pace I want I stop walking with him. He has learned to keep a fast pace at a
walk from me using this method. Also when I want to stop, I quit riding, meaning
plop my butt into the saddle & don't move with him, slows him down, and
he knows that means whoa! (Easist way I can explain it. ;)
