I'd love to hear how you guys are working on teaching the horse to use his
rear.  I've been trying to get my mellow, lazy boy to engage his behind -
he's hard to motivate and very much working on the forehand.  Are you doing
trot work?  Up hills?  Working on soft surfaces?  Please let me in on your
secrets!

My horse is getting more muscles in the rear areas (his gaskins have really
filled out nicely), but he's not seeming to get more motivated to use them.
I may have to resort to paying small neighborhood children to pop out of the
bushes on big wheels, lamas, and emus while carrying umbrellas if all else
fails to get him going.  ;-)  Or maybe I need to ride with a cap gun
(heeeyah!).
