Reward and Punishment

Rewards are not always carrots!    Rewards give your horse a pleasant feeling. Rewards are not always feed, carrots or apples. Rewards can also be:
  • Kind words
  • Petting
  • A break from work
  • Releasing pressure of the bit or your legs (This is a reward to your horse for obeying your signals.)
