I think the above entry (Barnes) constitutes "troll lite."
I've been reading this thread with interest, so I hope it will continue. I have three, grey, Arabian mares. And, since most of my riding is out on trails, I've been trying to learn as many ways to reestablish control as possible, in case of emergencies. I've taught a single rein cue for slow down, a deep seat meaning slow down, a verbal cue for "walk," "trot," and "whoa" (though sometimes I screw up and say "no" and she thinks it means "whoa" and stops suddenly). I know I haven't exhausted the possibilities and appreciate everyone's descriptions of training and techniques that have worked for them. The most difficult situations have been on steep, narrow, rocky trails when my horse can see other horses racing away on another ridge (in endurance rides). A lightly applied single rein helps, sitting deep helps, and a verbal command ("walk") helps, but sometimes she still jigs and doesn't watch where she's putting her feet. I've mostly resorted to dismounting as soon as there is room, and leading her until we get to a safer section of the trail where I can climb aboard again. Any other suggestions (besides the Barnes trainer)?
