“If reward is to be of any value it must immediately follow the exercise. Unfortunately there are many riders who are quick to punish but forget about rewards and take the good performance of their partner for granted. The simplest way for the rider to show his appreciation is by patting or speaking with a soothing voice. Patting does not mean slapping the horse with the open hand to make as much noise as possible, which is done to impress the onlookers; the horse’s neck should be caressed fondly and delicately.”
Alois Podhajsky, 1967, p. 68
The Complete Training of Horse and Rider.
