yeah he started this just on saturday I asked a friend to ride at the same time since I didnt want like a beginner getting kicked and yeah I get what ur saying about not changing speeds because then if he thinks hes doing something bad hes gonna think omg i better move my ass and like take off or lunge forward I'v always brought him back to the pace he was at... Exactly! And you dont want to unknowingly teach the horse to speed up everytime a horse passes. I'm telling you, these quick fixes just turn into more problems to fix.  |

I agree with Lindsay. When he kicks or bucks or whatever he does, kick him forward, smack him with a crop, whatever. Then continue forward as if nothing happened. He needs to know that what he is doing is clearly unacceptable. Be consistent with your reprimand.
