 Horse Centered Reschooling Program training tip:  

"One makes haste slowly with horses." 

SPANISH RIDING SCHOOL 

In other words, if you encounter problems. Stop.  Analyse where the breakdown of communication between you and your horse has been and think of ways to divide the request that you are making of your horse into simple steps.  Then go to the first step and proceed slowly.  Your horse will learn thusly in no time!
