So I'm recommended to try and get more voice control over Ernie. Which means, when out in the woods say "Can-ter!" loudly and clearly when I ask for it and reward him accordingly if he does it. (Remember in the school when we go for this transition we tend to get lots of bucking! .... but I do tend to try and voice activate to a degree when I'm schooling anyway.... )
Off I go to the woods determined to try this out. So we're off cantering and I remember that I forgot to say anything, so I say it when I nudge him to keep going ..... And, what do you know - HE BUCKS! - mid-canter.
So it appears I have taught him voice activation, but it just activate the wrong bits! Re-learning's going to be fun (not!), god help both our backs!! :-)
