The person stands in the middle of the ring and allows the horse to move around them cantering freely in the ring without a rope or line. If the person takes a step forward the horse slows down, a step back and it speeds up. The first sign that its working is the horses outside ear is pointing forward and inside ear points towards the person. When he stretches his head out and blows at the ground is the second sign. The third sign is that the horse starts opening and shutting his mouth as if he was chewing. The person than turns away from the horse and waits patiently. If the horse decides he wants to be with the human or not, he will walk towards them and nudge their back. The person than turns around, rubs the horses face, and walks around to see if the horse will follow them. This procedure is sometimes repeated more than once on a daily basis until horse is healed of whatever issues it has. It is the first step to curing a horse.
