Check out this excerpt from "Stop Bucking, An Online Study Course" written and offered by John Lyons Certified Trainer Keith Hosman:
"If your horse develops a rubber neck (simply throws his head way over to the left by your boot and leaves it there) resist the temptation to pull his head back with the opposite rein. Instead find an angle or amount of pressure with your left hand that does exert pressure on his mouth; move it way to the left or up in the air - whatever it takes to motivate him. In effect you’ll be saying 'Nice try, but I can move the reins and pull on ya anyway.' Be careful to feel for the horse softening - sometimes we start pulling so hard we don’t realize that the horse couldn’t relax even if he wanted to.
"Practice this serpentine often and progress to doing it at the lope. It’s a terrific way to relax the horse and dissolve resistance in the neck.
"Now, back to that 'Be Proactive' theme. The very next time you see your horse, I want you to do this: Put a halter, bridle and reins, whatever, on your horse and go out for a walk (with you on the ground). I want you to walk, staring at the horse’s ears until they prick up and he turns his head to look at something. That movement right there is what we’ve been waiting for. Memorize what it looks like from the safety of the ground. Walk some more and really lock in exactly the instant when your horse abruptly changes his focus to something 'over there.'"
