In a ring full of wonderfully proportioned, beautiful Quarter Horses,
the slightest details can make your horse stand out as the winner. In AQHA’s FREE Halter
Horse Expression report,
you’ll learn the secrets to completing your horse’s “total look” in the
halter arena. AQHA Professional Horseman Kathy Smallwood explains how to
get your horse to present the facial expression the judges are looking
for.
Kathy explains:
- How to train your halter horse at home for good expression
- Tools of the trade
- Grooming tips to help improve and accentuate expression
- How to get good expression from young halter horses
- Ways to get the extra edge by using your horse’s natural energy
One of Kathy’s secrets:
“At home, give your horse a peppermint and be sure to unwrap it right
in front of him so he associates the noise of the wrapper with getting
the peppermint. Then, when you go in the show pen, put a little bit of
the peppermint wrapping in your pocket and when you want to get
expression, take it out and crinkle it through your fingers a little.
It’ll get the horse’s ears up because he’s looking for the peppermint.
When you’re done showing, and you’re about to go out of the ring,
give him the peppermint. Otherwise, he’ll lose interest.”
