Green broke mare, won't whoa at the bit easily. Help?
I'm half leasing a 3 yr old Palomino Quarter Horse mare. She's green broke.
Currently, I'm working on turning her with leg commands, less with the bit. The owner doesn't want a harsher bit either.
So yesterday I went out and rode her, and I was at a canter, and I want her to stop. So of course I pulled on the bit, saying whoa. And then she wouldn't, so I'd get a little tougher. But it seemed to take FOREVER.
I've had 2 years of pro western training, and so I'm used to WELL trained horses.
Normally I'd gather her up with the reins, but she has her head(and neck) straight) it's beautiful, but.... I need to get her to stop....
Does anybody have any ideas????
