The VERY first thing he must learn is that the cue means something, and that he’s supposed to pay attention to it. You make the cue strong enough to get a response to. Once the horse has learned the response, you then tone down the cues until he responds to very subtle aids. This is how learning takes place.

This youngster is being prepared for “natural” trail training where he will learn steering and leg aids in ways that makes sense to him, by following other horses at varying speeds and being steered around trees and bends in the trail etc. After doing this round pen prep a couple of times, he will go right out on trails in company.
