Hi Robert,

what exactly is the problem? How are you asking? What is the horses response? Does he/she back on the ground? Any other problems?

In other words, there's lots of excellent advice you can get from the participants of this webpage but more information usually leads to better advice.

I've been taught that a horse is always asked for forward movement. In the case of the reverse, you ask the horse to move forward as usual, but you build a wall with your hands. The only option left is a controlled reverse. Does this make sense?
