Back her up next to a fence. That way she'll back into the fence if she backs. Most likely she doesn't know what you want. Make it VERY clear that you stand on the SIDE of her and push side-ways. As soon as she even leans towards the right direction release pressure and praise. Eventually you'll have her shoulders moving from just a look. (a angry glare, in fact) trust me, it's happened to me and Psyche. :)

Thanks! I'll try that! (:

I use PNH and it has improved my relationship with my horses tremendously.

It's all about understanding horse behavior and learning to communicate with them in a form they understand. It's about gaining their respect not making them respect you.

As the Parelli's say, "It's all about the relationship." Like Estelle said, it's about creating that special relationship with your horse. Over the past few years Pat has been able to focus his efforts on horse behavior and and psychology. I have been studying it for about 9 years (7 with my horse) and I really can't imagine a better way to about horse behavior and psychology with a home study program.

Good luck with whichever path you choose.

probably the most AWESOME horsemanship program out there! lol

Actually, hate to burst anybody's bubble, but Parelli is EXACTLY the same as ANY natural horseman trainer. I'm a huge fan, but just pointing out that all the natural horsemen do the same things, and get the same responses. The only difference is HOW they go about getting the responses. And, WHAT the call the terms and ect. So really, it's the same for any of the natural guys - they're all good :)

I don't know so much about tricks, but once you know the 7 games, look into the patterns program. It's all about communication but it looks impressive anyway. :>

Sounds like things are going really well as it is. I played with a pregnant mare up until she foaled. There is plenty you can do on the ground (desensitizing, patterns, etc.), and undemanding time is always good.
Keep up the good work!!!
