Well, this is one way to "fix" a buddy sour horse, I guess.
My issue with this method is that the horses are not learning that their choices affect how they are ridden, but rather they are simply complying with Anderson's insistence upon loping a tight circle. And while they're doing exactly what he's asking them to do, he says things like "get the darn thing to lope" and "whoop his bum."
I like Schiller's methods, make them work if they choose to do the wrong thing, but give them the option to choose the right thing and be rewarded for it should they make that decision.
Anyone else's opinions, agreeing or disagreeing?
