I'm having good luck these days loping a circle or part of a circle, breaking down to a trot, circling down, quietly kicking the hind end out of gear, and doing it over and over. Soon the horse learns to want to go slow, stop and rest. works better than loping them down all the time to get them tired. Really is working good on Fashisle in getting him to hunt the middle wanting to slow down from a large fast.
Hes weird- if something scares him he gets curious and wants to go to it. I had thought he quit guiding and on the new track he did but it was more that scary thing he was attracted to at the new place- finally, doing the neck rein drill in the circle until he responded- many many many times- he relaxed and got better.
Chilled him out just to lope in the hackamore, guiding with the neck rein back through the middle untill he succomed and chilled and relaxed and started guiding again.
