heeyyyy so I go to riding lessons and my riding instructor tells me to whip the horse´s butt when the horse doesn´t want to go forward.I try not to do it but I don´t have enough level so I don´t know what to do.Any ideas?
It is okay to use the whip, we just have to use it mindfully. If you aren't using a dressage whip then you'll need to put both reins in one hand to reach back and use the whip on their hind end. If you are using a dressage whip (which would be easier) you can simply rotate your wrist to reach the hind end. You'll want to make sure either way that you are using a continuous tapping motion and stopping when the horse goes forward. Let me know if this helps!
