<1. Using force If
you use a whip or a butt rope as a "go forward" cue, you <are trying to
annoy the horse into moving, even a little bit. You are not <trying
to hurt, scare, or force movement. Lots of "natural
horsemanship" <books videos show how to do this. Clicker training
should also work, but I <don't do that stuff.

agree. You're dealing with a thousand pound animal. You need to be in control of
him or he will walk all over you. Too many people are not dominate over their
horses. These are the ones that are getting pushed all over the place by
their horses. The horses have absolutely NO RESPECT for them.
