Most people think you need to whip the horse just for him to move
. But to train the horse how to go you just squeeze his body with your legs a bit or slam the rider's rope slowly to signal him to move. To steer, pull the rope on the right side to signal him to turn right, and pull from the left for left. To stop the horse, just pull back the rope, but not too much as it might start walking backwards. Remember your horse must already understand walk and whoa' or stop if ever you decide to ride it. After learning how to train a horse to ride, practice more before increasing the speed.
