Backing Up

by Keith Hosman

Hey, you know why your horse won't back up? Know why you can pull on those reins all day long and the horse just throws his head up and plants his back feet? The more you pull, the more "planted" you become?

Find out! Here's how to teach your horse to back willingly.


This is a one-chapter excerpt from the book "What I'd Teach Your Horse: Training & ReTraining the Basics."

This material was pulled directly from the book mentioned, with no changes made to it whatsoever. It is published in this way to aid folks who find themselves facing a single issue and who do not feel the need to purchase an entire book.

Note before you purchase: For the most part, this chapter does "stand alone," but due to its nature, it may occasionally refer to chapters which must be purchased separately (or by buying the entire book, of course).

To purchase the entire book, please search Amazon.com for "What I'd Teach Your Horse."
