In the old days horse breaking was a process by which you got a horse trained by forcing him to submit. Now we have a better understanding of how horses think, act, and behave, and have sensitivity to cruelty and force. Using modern methods, horse breaking can be accomplished in a completely gentle fashion that speaks to the horse in his own, natural language. An effective way of doing this is by establishing leadership and by controlling or directing the movement of the horse.

This can also be accomplished using circling and jumping. See this in Eric’s horse breaking : circling video.
