How to know if your horse has a good foundation with Mike Meizler Gaited Trail Horse Trainer.

Mike Meizler describes what a foundation consists of on a horse. We use the term foundation often and more often than not people really do not know what a foundation means. This video explains what a foundation is and why you should desire a solid foundation. As Mike says very often the exercises build on each other when training a horse.
In teaching one to read one must know the complete alphabet in order to succeed. If you skip part of the alphabet, how would you possibly be able to learn to read? It's the same with horse training. The simple things in the beginning of training build into the difficult maneuvers that a finished horse will know how to perform.
Horsemanship is about building a relationship between a human and a horse. Boundaries are part of this relationship as well as being submissive. Solid foundation training will establish boundaries as well as leadership.
