[QUOTE="Waynard, post: 3782011, member: 50645"] My horse used to try that low branch thing with me but I taught him not to do that anymore. I had a riding crop that I kept on my saddler and when he headed for a low branch I would whip that thing out and wack him between the ears and that stopped that crap quick. When out for a ride as soon as I turned back to head home, he wanted to turn into a race horse. I had a thin rope looped around his nose and mouth and up his bridle and when he wanted to run and I didnt want him to I yanked the hell out of that rope and that brought him to a halt faster than the reins. After I taught him those few lessons he bacame a good ride. I always brought treats along with me and when he quit trying to fight me and trying to turn home again, I would stop and give him a few treats. He soon learned that the longer the ride the better the treats. I also found out if I brought my other horse along he didnt want to head back to the barn. He missed his pal and wanted to go back. They both became excellent trail horses after a year or two and were very sure footed. I hated getting rid of them but we were moving back to town and could not take them. . [/QUOTE]
