[Ag-eq] horse training

[Liz Lewis]

You can also send your horse by pointing and twirling a rope.  Twirl the
rope so that it would land on the back and fall down if it touches them
rather than come up and risk hitting their belly.  When you want to give
positive feedback you stop twirling the rope.  It is the pressure, release
concept.  You don't actually touch the horse.

Michelle, horses can be taught to send.  I'm not good at teaching this, but
I've seen some people send their horses over obsticles and such.  I do send
Cruiser into the trailer by leading him to the door and pointing inside.  I
tell him to trailer up and he does.  I can also point to certain gates and
send him through.
 I'm not able to send him over bridges and other obsticles yet.
