Tip/Quote of the Day # 100
Be careful to use the same emphasis, speed, and tone of voice with any voice commands. This helps to make things very clear to your horse. I often see riders yelling and screaming a voice command such as "whoa", in such a way that the horse probably has no idea what they are saying. Horses don't learn the words per se, they learn what something sounds like.
