Some useful (and critical) benefits of teaching your horse Tof and Toh
- Needed to pass through gates without dismounting, and perform other obstacles without demolishing them.
- Teaches, measures, and confirms: Understanding of, and obedience to the outside rein.
Used to stop a horse drifting and keep them on the line of travel. - Teaches, measures, and confirms: Understanding of, and obedience to the leg.
- Used to move your horse's hindquarters away from another horse so they don't kick.
Quite useful if you find yourself having to pony (lead) another horse from yours on a trail ride. - Can avert a runaway when a horse isn't listening to the bridle as they can be turned away from where they're trying to run to.
- Can be combined to accomplish sidepass.
Very useful to stop your kneecap from connecting with a tree. - Called for in some dressage tests, but also installs the buttons needed to ride straight and bending lines correctly.
Useful in a show, and life-saving on a trail.
