Tying this in with the thread about riding with whips, is the whip being used as intimidation? In Parelli, for the horse to go forward with more life, he asks the rider to bring up his life. Sit up, send your chi forward, wave your arm, set up a rhythm with your own body. All of this is in line with the horse's center, not directed to his rear.
