    I am just starting - would I do all 7 in one session - or do you start with the Friendly game and when that is going well, then advance to the next game?

    I'd suggest doing them often, but not all 7 at once. Try doing 1 or 2 each session. Maybe even do a short session of games 1, 2, and 3, and then 4, 5, and six another day. Experiment with your horse too, learn what he does and does not enjoy.

    The horse will become very willing and attuned to what you want. It is just another way to communicate better with your horse.

    Horses communicate by moving their ears and making sounds, such as nickering or a whinny. A whinny is just like a neigh, and if they move their ears back and show teeth, that means they're angry and warning you that they may bite. They may also snort, blow, squeal, grunt, or groan. They also may switch their tail to swat flies, and some other things. Horses have many different ways of communicating, so make sure you can tell if they're angry or happy.

    Your leg is the key! Many riders think that you should control your horse with the reins, but it can be more helpful to bend the horse using your inside leg and your inside rein. Focusing more on your inside leg. This should help to control your horse better.

    I do the groundwork and my horse has still been very naughty when I ride. He does a 180, bolts and bucks. I have tried to do more groundwork than riding at this point because I know what he can do. Any advice?

    Disengage his hindquarters. Cut back the groundwork and be very strict.
