An excerpt:

Now, go back and reread that last paragraph. From what I've seen of riders/owners at my clinics, a great percentage of folks will stop moving when approaching their horses because logic tells them their horse isn't going to move. It is imperative that you learn to walk forthrightly and right "through" your horse. As easy a concept as this sounds, you'd be amazed at how people will draw back and say to me "He's not moving. Wahhh." If this is you... you’ll have to MAKE HIM MOVE. This whole dance must be fluid with zero hesitation. Channel Patton on ice. You've got a lead rope in your hands and the benefit of foresight: The very instant you think the horse might stall out, put just enough pressure on his nose to cause the hip to move. (Either draw the lead toward his hip or toward the where the saddle horn would be. You will find that, because of the way the horse naturally carries his hip slightly off center, one method will work better on Side A, the other method will work better on Side B.) If that doesn't do the trick, make him take a step forward and immediately pull his nose toward his hip using more force. If that doesn't work hit him with your crop. If that doesn't work... get a four-wheeler. The bottom line here is that you must keep moving at the same tempo as if dancing. Whether you’re walking forward, turning or stepping backward, your feet must always be moving at the same speed, fluidly and with no hesitation. Every stutter step or hiccup you allow will hamper your training. (Re-read these last few sentences because this is one of the major reasons folks stall out in their ground training… and then wonder why.) Your progression will be this: 1) Just get the hips to move. 2) Get softness through the horse’s body. 3) Get the horse to look at you with both eyes as you walk. Common sense will tell you when to move from one expectation to the next.
