Here's an excerpt from Day 5 of "Rein In Your Horse's Speed, a 5-Day Course" written by John Lyons Certified Trainer Keith Hosman:

"If you've had problems with your horse getting 'higher and higher,' then today is for you.

"Yesterday I discussed a super-simple way to calm your horse. In fact it had just one step. How much simpler can it get? And the really neat thing about that easy exercise is that as you do it you don't have to think about where the horse should have his head. He'll just naturally begin to lower it because he learns to relax and just move with you. It's virtually impossible to mess it up. (If you missed it, you'll find a link to that newsletter at the end of this page.)

"Today I want you to remember this simple thought: When you want to teach your horse to slow down, find a moment when that horse is traveling on a loose rein — and build on it. (You should underline that, then tattoo it on your wrist; it's that important.)"
