Teaching A Horse To Lower His Head Under Saddle… With Tik Maynard

Tik Maynard is riding his horse and it is the first time he is applying positive reinforcement (R+) under saddle. We decided that relaxation and lowering his head were the goal in this first session. Of course we started with some of the mechanics that are part a horse and rider learning to take/deliver food from the tack. This is one of the earlier steps in getting started with positive reinforcement under saddle.
