Preview: John Mitchell Shows You How To Teach One Of The Hardest Parts Of The Turn

Teaching a horse to draw through the middle of the turn can be one of the most difficult things to do!
NCHA Hall Of Fame Trainer John Mitchell breaks it down into simple terms at this Clinic in Fanano, Italy explaining:

* How to fix a horse that is forward in the turn.
* Don’t be drastic in the correction and make sure you keep going with the flag once corrected.
* He shows you how to use both hands to make your horse stay back through the turn.
* Why you need your turn to have draw: it helps slow the cow down and allows you to ride up, away or across the cow.
* Why the draw backing straight can’t be more than two or three steps.
* How to really school a horse to work the flag.
* Don’t bind your horse up in your hands out of the turn
* When to cow up close to the flag and work it.
* Plus loads more……
