Is your horse pulling back? Feet feeling sticky when you go to lead him off? The key to this is slow and steady, as well as having a reliable horse to operate off of. A few things to be aware of when working on this are- First, it’s not a pulling contest. If you treat it like that the horse you are working will just get grumpy and sit on the end of the lead rope. Second, go slow make your transitions soft as to not further startle the horse and slowly work your way up to faster speeds as the horse improves. Third, be sure to be careful with yourself and your saddle horse to ensure neither of you get clobbered.
