If not addressed, horses will develop chronic habits of resistance when exposed to the least amount of pressure. Hypersensitive horses are often fearful and worried about pressure itself.

We then answer a listener question regarding the correct timeline for Foal, Weanling & Yearling training; and how much imprinting and exposure young horses actually need. Our sponsor...

We detail our training of 4 select two-year-old reining horses during 2018; the unique challenges each one presented, and the progress they made. In Part 3 we recap our experiences with "Cobra," a 2016 gelding; and "Kia," a 2016 filly.

Groundwork is important, but there are some problems under saddle that can fly under the radar until they're fully provoked.

He elaborates on the reality of uncovering an issue under saddle that groundwork wouldn’t have exposed, but can help solve.
