An excerpt from "Your Foal: Essential Training for the Young Horse":

Think of it this way: If a horse will move his head to the presence of a fly on his lip, and buffalo can be stampeded by the darn things, your colt will certainly know that you're asking for something here with your taps. You just have to be more stubborn than him. You may want to pull his head slightly off the side to encourage sideways movement if you find him truly parked out and step back so as not to crowd him. The more adamant the horse is, the smaller "movement" you'll want to accept before dropping the whip and praising him. Look for small things, a lean, a dropping of the head, anything that suggests "forward" and build from there. Also, keep in mind the following advice from John Lyons: "First get the horse to move, then get it to move consistently, then get it to move consistently in the direction you want." What that means in this case is that any movement, sideways, backward, anything is good enough to get a release if your horse steadfastly refuses. Once he learns that a raise of the whip means "move," it's not difficult to build on small improvements and get to the wash rack.
