Juli prepares a horse on the ground, to be ridden through obstacles at her spookproof clinic. Once the horse is prepared, Juli coaches the rider through the barrells. Pictures from Northern Illinois Horse Fest 2006 Clinics Juli demonstrates long lining a yearling with the reins attached to the halter, and the outside rein draped around his hind end to desensitize his hindquarters. This exercise will also give the youngster a head start in steering. During her Equine Behavior clinic, Juli demonstrates how to hold the lead correctly with a little slack, and a soft feel. Juli coaches a handler to relax her hold on the lead so that she gives the right feel to the horse. Here, Juli helps a handler teach a horse to lower his head on cue, one of the three acts of submission.
