IS YOUR HORSE AFRAID TO STEP OVER LOGS AND OTHER OBSTACLES ON THE TRAIL?
He has good reason. Nature tells him to protect his legs from the unknown, as a lameness-causing injury can separate him from the herd and turn him into a predator’s meal. So, all things considered, he’d rather avoid anything that could involve a possible misstep or stumble.
You can, however, condition him away from this fear. With my method, instead of fighting to get him over that log, you’ll use approach-and-retreat, first on the ground
