re: Who raises cows on the OB

With a halter or snafflebit, start by taking slack in rein on one side once contact is made on bit hold, wait for him to give or release to the pressure. DO NOT take up the slack let him giving be the reward.

Then pregress to while stading still take up the reins til contact is made, once he gives to the pressure-tucks nose in release imediatly.

To teach stops I start by at a walk saying whoa and sitting back in the saddle, let him find the stop by himself. As I progress in his development I expect him to stop quicker. A horse I've ridden for a few months better stop. Like Yosemite Sam when I say whoa I mean whoa.But you have to give him a chance first.
