By Reese Koffler Stanfield, USDF gold medalist, FEI-certified instructor, owner of Maplecrest Farm

Every riding horse needs to be able to stop and go when told. I teach all my horses that whoa means whoa, whether I am on the ground or in the saddle. No ifs, ands, or buts about it, when I say whoa it is full stop and my horse doesn’t move until I say go. I also spend a lot of time practicing “walk, halt, walk on” transitions when riding. It is the perfect exercise to do during your walk warmup or anytime you feel like you need to “test the brakes.”
