The Importance of the Verbal Whoa Cue

0421_02

The verbal cue “whoa” should be used for one thing and one thing only – to tell a horse to stop. When a rider says, “whoa,” their horse should stop immediately. In a bonus clip to the third training session in the Performance Horses: Reined Cow Horses series, Clinton shares why it’s important to not overuse the verbal cue when training your horse.

Log on to the Downunder Horsemanship app or the No Worries Club website to watch the video now. Find the video on the app by going to the video category, Performance Horses: Reined Cow Horses. Go to “Third Training Session,” and select the video, “Whoa Means Whoa.”
