Hardy is absolutely right. Put miles on the horses with intermittent
stops.....lots of them. And don't just stop for a couple of seconds and
start again. Find a nice place out of the way and practice "whoa". Sit
and chat and keep your horses standing until they finally realize they
aren't going to move out again. Let them relax and maybe even start to
take a nap. Then start up again, but only at the walk. Don't worry about
collection, bending, etc. That comes much later. First they have to
learn to walk and whoa. If you decide to let them trot, don't allow them
to get too excited....bring them back to a walk. It takes time and
patience, but it will all fall into place. Good luck, and have fun.
Helen
