1. What Is Your Horse’s Lag time?
Here’s trainer Andy Curry discussing lag time in your horse:
Ever had a ‘duh’ moment?
What I mean is, has anyone ever said
something to you and you didn’t answer immediately?
There was this ‘moment of processing’
what the person just said to you.
Sometimes you may ask, ‘Now what? Say that again…?’
Sometimes you answer with the appropriate response.
The reason I ask you this is because
a lot of people don’t understand that the horse has a
lag time in his responses too.
We often expect our horses to snap to
attention and immediately do what we ask them to do.
But asking for an instant response just isn’t appropriate.
When you ask your horse to do something, it goes from the
pressure point up to his brain and back to his leg or
whatever you’re working on.
And get this.
Sometimes, it can take as much as four seconds.
Four seconds isn’t all that long.
It may seem like it at the time, but
comparatively speaking, it’s nothing.
This is one of the important tips Linda Braddy reveals
in her DVD on ‘Getting The Right Answer From Your Horse’.
Linda goes on to say this.
You will worry your horse if you keep
asking for an instant response and he isn’t giving it.
So what?
Worry turns into confusion and confusion turns into fear.
You can’t learn anything if your mind is consumed with fear.
Anyway, your horse needs time from when you thought of it
and asked for it and when they can perform it.
And don’t forget this.
They have to be physically ready to perform it.
For example, if your horse’s head is bent to the right and
you asked his rearend to move to the right…it’d be dang
hard for him to do.
Why?
Because it’s natural for his hip to go to the left
with his head bent to the right.
He could move his hip and head to the
right if he was warmed up, ready, and knew what it was about.
But otherwise, it’s just not fair to ask your horse to do it.
This is one of the valuable lessons Linda reveals in her DVD.

2. Kathleen’s Story With the Pulley Bridle
I recently received the note below from Kathleen. She had purchased
the Jesse Beery books and the Pulley Bridle.
Kathleen has a QH gelding named Casanova that wouldn’t settle down
and cow kicks the farrier.
I suggested Kathleen use the Pulley Bridle and to let me know.
Here’s her note:
—————————————————————-
“Hi Charlie,
I took your advice & used the Pulley Bridle with Casanova.
The results were fantastic so far. He wouldn’t stand still
when I groom him & he would spook terribly at the spray bottle.
Tonight after a couple firm tugs, he stood still to be brushed.
It took a little more time to overcome his spray bottle phobia,
but every time he moved away from it, I pulled the bridle while
talking to him quietly. The end result was I was able to spray
him with fly repellent all over & he didn’t move.
I am thrilled!!!
Tomorrow we are going to work on his hooves being picked up
& cleaned. He paws the ground a lot & likes to kick a back
leg out when he’s frustrated. I’ll keep you posted.
Another positive testimony for the pulley bridle!!
Thank you again.
Kathleen”

Thanks for sharing that, Kathleen!
Dozens of others have written with similar results (and amazement).
If you haven’t read about the Pulley Bridle, especially the
newest version we have released, then you owe it to yourself
to get the full story and see if it would work for your horse.
It won’t harm your horse and is completely humane.
In fact, it is so simple in the way it works, it is hard
to believe it could work so well.
You get fast results and fix problems that many owners
have been fighting for months, sometimes years.

We are up to full production of the Pulley Bridles now
after a slight delay in getting some of the parts produced
in volume from our machine shop.
They are ready to ship to all who want them.
Note: If you have purchased the previous version of the Pulley
Bridle and are interested in upgrading to the new “Ultimate”
design then be looking for an email from me later today.
I am putting together a couple options to get your bridle
upgraded.

OK.. that’s enough for today! Stay safe around your horses.

P.s. Don’t continue to put up with your horse not doing what you
ask. Take each problem area and figure out how to solve it.
Between the Jesse Beery course and the Pulley Bridle, there’s
just no excuse for not fixing all those peskly problems!
