Speed Control
Four chapters selectively chosen from the larger book "What I'd Teach Your Horse" (Training & Re-Training the Basics)
Learn to speed up or slow down your horse, to get your chosen speed, to stay at that speed.
Speed Control
Presently, your horse figures he's got four "Walk," "Trot," "Lope," and "Gallop." He also figures each gait has exactly two "Slow" going away from the barn and "fast" going toward it. However... he needs to learn that there are as many speeds within each gait as there are shades of color. Here's how to teach basic speed control.
Speeding Up Slow or Balky Horses
For the rider seeking to re-train their problematic old war horse, a horse proving difficult thanks to deeply entrenched, poor habits.

Slow Down, Part Wherein We Train the Brain
