Hind-end engagement: the fun way!

We all want the horse to be lighter on the forehand, take more weight behind, flex/lower the haunches, step more under, and on and on. But most of us were trained in using "driving aids" of whips to "encourage" the horse to use his body differently than he prefers.
If we want to stop all the reminders... no more tap-tap-tap with whip or spurs, what CAN we use?
Nature :)
(This is Part 2 in my “Better than whips?” Series.)
By making friends with the horse's nervous system, we can help the horse teach HIMSELF why it matters. Not because the trainer/rider asks for it, but because it is the most natural, authentic way to solve a movement problem.
While hind-end engagement is so often thought of as a long, hard struggle for horse and human, a nervous-system nature-as-ally approach makes this more fun than anything I've ever done with horses!
Go. Explore. Move.

Thanks to Hazel and Dalia! (YinYangHorses)
About me:
I created the principles and practices known as Intrinzen.
The first goal was to help my own horses recover joy in movement.
The second goal was to help other "muggles" (like me) to help their horses without being dependent on professional trainers and -- most important -- without having to BE an "expert" rider, trainer, horseman.
I have a BSc in Kinesiology / Exercise Physiology (human), and after 15 years in the human movement world, I went back to school for computer science and educational technology.
Today, I apply the latest research in movement, motivation, and learning in helping myself and others become the best allies and coaches of their horses.
