Establishing a natural headset is a key element in the refinement of your feel and timing. Every horseman who has spent much time in the saddle can attest to the frustration that comes from having a lack of harmony with his mount. Horseman Chris Cox believes each act of resistance or refusal to respond can be traced back to a lack of ground control that the horse learned improperly or not at all. (Obviously, this doesn't apply to situations where a horse is responding to physical pain, such as from an ill-fitting saddle, etc.) Building a proper and thorough foundation means the difference between a horse that trusts its rider and responds as a willing partner, and one that makes teamwork between horse and rider an impossible goal. Training horses properly and educating horsemen with the right knowledge is what Chris Cox is all about!
