horse makes any attempt to walk or lunge away 

 from you. reach for your lines and give a sudden 

 jerk, using the word "Stand!" as mentioned 

 above. Make the horse think that the punishment 

 he is receiving at the mouth is coming from the

 place of "whoa" when you wish to slacken the 

 speed.

 used when you want your horse to stop, and not 

 for anything else.
