What does M-LEAD mean in TELECOM

Mouth Lead equestrianism is a type of horse riding where the rider controls the horse with only verbal commands and instructions from their mouth. It does not rely on the use of a bridle, bit or reins to direct the animal.

Mouth Lead riding has become popular because it allows for more subtle communication between the rider and the horse, enabling increased awareness and responsiveness in both parties. It also allows riders to communicate with horses without having to resort to more traditional methods that may be less comfortable for the animal.

The best horses for Mouth Lead training tend to be those that have been trained in natural horsemanship techniques and those that respond well to verbal cues. Horses with gentle temperaments and ones that are already accustomed to responding to light touches or whispers make particularly good candidates.

One potential drawback of this style of riding is that it requires considerable time and effort in order to hone both rider's skills as well as that of the horse's sensitivity and responsiveness. Additionally, some people may find it difficult to understand what specific commands mean when communicated using just one's mouth, so some practice may be necessary before mastery can be achieved.

Other terms commonly associated with this type of equestrianism include 'Voice Riding', 'Verbal Cue Riding'and ‘Cluck Riding' - all referring to variations on using verbal communications between rider and horse during training sessions.
