Generally my 'go-to' for NH is Buck Brannaman, as I really like his approach and he doesn't sell gadgets either. Just like with people, there is no 'one-size-fits-all' training method that suits every single horse - other than patience and common sense! But I read something in one of Mark's books that I have shared with several people, which is the idea that horse and rider as a combination should equal a level 10 in energy levels. So if the rider is at a 5, the horse should be at a 5. If the horse is at a 2 (low energy) the rider needs to move up to an 8 - and if the horse is at an 8, the rider needs to drop back to a 2. Definitely a helpful analogy and one I've explained to several people lately, who have all benefited from it. Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719615666266639916noreply@blogger.com
