When I start c**ts, I make a point to move all over them, rubbing up their necks, back on their hindquarters and behind their tails, I slap my hands against my legs, I take my hat off and wave it in the air, I do anything I can think of to start getting those c**ts broke to me moving around on them. From day one, I want a c**t to know that it’s completely normal to feel a human moving on his back and to see and hear a variety of objects above his eye level.
The worst thing you can do on a c**t or any horse is to sit like a closed pocket knife, never moving out of position. The one day that you do need to move – you need to reach down and open a gate, a friend hands you a bottle of water, or you wave to someone – your horse will dump you on your head because you’ve never prepared him to see you moving on his back like that. Horses get good at whatever we allow them to practice. - Clinton
