“Howard Hughes and Horse Training”
His name was Howard.
He invented an experimental plane so
advanced for its time, it set a speed record.
It flew from California to New Jersey
at 332 miles per hour.
At that time, it was the fastest plane
on earth.
Howard tried to get the army to use his
design but they weren’t interested.
But…
Japan was.
A Japanese engineer designed a fighter
plane that incorporated many of Howard’s plane’s
features.
This plane was known as the “Zero” and
was the premier fighter plane of World War 2.
The U.S. and its allies couldn’t develop a plane
that could match or beat it until 1943.
Howard’s last name, by the way, is…
“Hughes”
Yep.
Pretty much everyone knows who Howard
Hughes was.
Here was a man that had “THE THING”
for the army and they said…
“No thanks”
And then it comes back to bite them in
the backside.
Have you ever made a mistake like that?
You poo poo’d something only to find out
later what a mistake you’d made?
I have.
A classic example for horse owners is
thinking they don’t need to know certain things
about horses and their training.
Truth is, the more you learn the better
you become…and fast.
But “poo poo it” like the army did with
Howard Hughe’s new airplane, and it could come
back and bite you.
As an example, I think EVERYONE should
learn as much as they can about teaching a horse
about Reining.
The benefits are extraordinary.
Why?
Because a Reining horse is the ultimate
broke horse.
In Reining, you get your horse doing things
like sliding stops, spins, etc.
Maybe you don’t want to do sliding stops or
spins – and that’s no problem.
But you should attempt teaching it to your
horse because you would be astonished what you learn
by trying to get your horse to learn.
And not just sliding stops…but all the
other stuff too.
To teach your horse new things
is to teach yourself new things.
[I’m ‘gonna repeat that – it’s a key principle]
To teach your horse new things
is to teach yourself new things.
It’s a wonderful journey filled with overwhelming
satisfaction.
If you have the interest in your horse like I
think you do, then I urge you to learn from two very
good sources.
One is Doug and Danie Hewlett. You can see
their info at:
http://horsetrainingresources.com/dvd-daniedoughewlett.html
The other is Chuck Nesmith. You can see his
info at:
http://horsetrainingresources.com/dvd-nesmith.html
The Hewletts go through the basics of Reining
including what things to look for that tell you if a
horse would be good at Reining.
But even if yours wasn’t, that doesn’t mean
he can’t learn it. He just may not be as good –
that’s all.
And Chuck Nesmith teaches how to get a horse
to do sliding stops and spins. It is extremely
thorough and nearly the best I’ve seen on sliding
stops and spins.
One thing to be aware of when teaching your
horse new things is he won’t get it right off the bat.
In fact, you may think to yourself, “Why is
this horse doing that? That’s not what I want.”
But remember this.
Your horse doesn’t know what to do at first.
Why would he be good at it?
But when you work with him and explain it to
him every time you work with him, he’ll start to get
really good at it.
And you may be surprised how quickly he gets
good at it.
In fact, because he won’t get it very good
at first you may even think you’re doing it wrong.
You may start to question yourself.
You may start to think you can’t do it.
But…you can!
You just hang in there.
Try to work with your horse at least 3 times
a week.
In fact, try this.
I know you may be short on time – we all are.
But try to give your horse 6 days in a row
starting on Monday or Tuesday.
All I ask is you give him the next 6 days in
a row. If you can’t do 6, then do 5.
Don’t have anything planned.
Tell yourself you’ll spend that time on your
horse and nothing else until you feel his training
for that day is done.
Pick something to teach him. And at least
understand how to do it before you show him.
If you do that and see the progress he’s
made…especially after you’ve educated yourself
a little on what to do (by using Reining techniques
for example), then…
“You’ll be hooked”
You’ll wonder why you haven’t spent more time
doing it.
Just don’t make the mistake the army did
and let a great idea go by and let come back
and bite you in the…
“Tushie”
