1. “A Christmas Blessing from Horse Training Resources!”
I like to send a special email each Christmas
so you can hear from our hearts.
This is probably unlike any other emails
you get from other businesses. But through
this you’ll get to know us a bit more and
who we are.
Ours is a family business – my wife helps
with the bookkeeping and all 5 of my kids
either have in the past or currently are
involved. We also subcontract some work
to other trusted businesses when we don’t
have the skills or it doesn’t make sense
to do it ourselves.
Horse Training Resources started 7 years
ago and now has multiple horse-related websites.
Through this we have been privileged to get to
know, serve and help tens of thousands of
horse-lovin’ folks like you.
Thousands now read our horse tips emails
multiple times a week. In fact, some of
you have been with us since we started.
Many of you have received many hundreds
of horse tips, along with the special emails
we’ve sent. All without charge.
Whether you joined yesterday or 7 years ago,
we want to say “Thanks” for being there.
And, thanks for your business and notes of support.
For those of you who are new, you’ll find that
we don’t hide our faith and beliefs. We don’t,
in any way, show preference to anyone who
believes like us or differently than us.
Everyone is welcome and we don’t discriminate
at all based on faith, origin, sex, horse
breed or riding style ;>)
As long as you act in a civil manner we welcome you.
But you’ll also find that we aren’t necessarily
“politically correct”, either. Please understand
that this is who we are and how we live our lives.
Nor do we separate our personal and business
lives. We operate our family and our business
on the same values, beliefs and morals. I only
wish that most other businesses would do the same.
I believe people like to know who they’re dealing with.
We’re not a big corporate company with faceless
personalities. We are a family of Christian
believers. We have 5 children from 15 to 34.
Two are still at home. We home school.
I am pleased to say that all 5 of my children
have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Next to our own salvation, my wife and I feel that
is THE most important thing we could do – to lead
our children to the Lord. All of life’s issues
will fall in line after that.
We celebrate Christ Jesus everyday of our lives.
Every one in our family is heavily involved in
our church (or churches where they live), multiple
ministries, missionaries and community services.
We are probably unique this day and age when so
many people think they have to tip toe around
their faith and cannot express their beliefs.
We don’t bend our message or make allowances
in the way we run our business to suit someone
else’s beliefs or non-beliefs. Each one can
choose who they want to do business with.
We are blessed. It’s a lot of work and we’ve
risked just about everything to make a go of it,
but the Lord has blessed the business overall
and we continue to change grow. Finances are
tight but we don’t give up or slow down.
We have new products coming. One, which many
have indicated an interest in, is our new
publishing course. I will be teaching others
how to produce, publish and market products
such as books and other information products.
I will also introduce our students to others
who have been successful at it. It’s actually
easier than you might think. You simply need
instruction from those who have done it well.
We’ve been very successful producing books
in multiple formats including printed books,
downloads, Kindle books, audio books, etc.
We also produce a whole line of DVDs and our
www.TheHorseLibrary.com site has almost
everything we produce online, ready to view,
listen to or read.
Needless to say, we know how to produce and
publish information. And anyone can do it.
That’s what I’ll be teaching in this new course.
I have additional books and other products
on the drawing board. Most based on requests
from you, our readers.
We’re tired – in a good way – from building,
growing, and investing in the future.
I won’t hide the fact that it’s been a challenge
in these changing economic times. We’ve had to
adjust. We have to figure out what the market
wants and offer products to meet that need.
I still believe that if we invest in folks
by giving away our horse tips, book downloads,
etc. that they will eventually do business
with us when they have a need and the funds
to do it. We’ll continue doing business this
way until we are proven wrong.
We would hope that you’ll feel comfortable doing
business with us once you get to know, like and
trust us. We honestly hope to earn your business.

OK – enough about who we are.
Christmas:
Allow me to talk offer a few thoughts
about Christ and Christmas – the REAL
reason for this email and the Reason for
the Season.
First – please pray for our service men and
women who are deployed away from home at this
time. And pray for their families who are
sacrificing right along with them.
We owe our highest gratitude to these
families who have or are now serving this
country and securing our freedom. As
the son of an Air Force pilot who didn’t
see his Dad for months and months at
a time, I salute you and say thanks.
Next – pray for our leaders – from the
President and his cabinet all the way
to down through the legislators and courts.
It’s real obvious that there is corruption
from the top down. It doesn’t seem to matter
what political party you’re from. Corruption
doesn’t follow political parties but rather
it is in the hearts of those serving.
It’s no secret that our country, along with
the countries in Europe and around the
globe, are consumed with debt, financial
malfeasance, a welfare state, and a lack
of common sense. It’s sickening to watch,
only to understand that it will all come
crashing down eventually. Maybe soon.
I fear for the future of my children and
grandchildren. Lord Jesus, come quickly!
It seems that so much of society is willing to
allow evil to rein. And call good, evil.
The very Christian foundations this country was
built on are being challenged daily.
If we cease to be a God-fearing people then
our days are numbered as a country.
So what does this mean for you?
My only conclusion is this:
If you haven’t invited Jesus Christ into your
life as Lord and Savior then you need to do
that now.
If you are a Christian and aren’t living
the Christian lifestyle, then you need to
re-evaluate things and perhaps straighten
things out. If you’ve fallen away from
what you know is true then now is the time
to commit to turning around now.
What better time to do this than now! At
the time we celebrate our Lord’s birth.
Want to know the truth? While I’d love to
sell you lots of horse training DVDs, books,
and related products, the most important thing
you need in your life right now is to the have
the assurance that YOU will have eternal life.
There is NOTHING more important than that.
Your job, your horses, your possessions, even
your friends and family – all of it comes
second to YOUR assurance of eternal life.
You see, we are all sinners – left to ourselves,
we are all wretched beings. ALL of us have
done things, said things, are doing things and
think things that are wrong. Things that are evil
or morally wrong.
You know in your heart that is true. Each
one of us has a sinful nature.
But heaven is a perfect place. And therein
lies the problem. How do we, as sinners, enter
into a perfect heaven where Christ reins?
My friend, it is through the birth, death and
resurrection of Christ Jesus our Savior. HE
paid the price for our transgressions, HE took
our sin to the cross on our behalf. He, and
He alone, paid for our salvation.
Many of you reading this are Christian believers.
But many of you are not. Perhaps you’ve been
told of the plan of salvation or perhaps not.
What is most important right now is “What are
you going to do about it?”
He’s calling you now. He’s knocking on the
door of your heart. Open the door and let him
in and accept him as Lord of your life.
This is the most important thing you could do
right now. You see, we don’t know what
could happen to us in the next few minutes,
days or months ahead. Individually, we don’t
know if we’ll see tomorrow or not.
If you haven’t accepted the Lord as Savior
in your life you can do it right now. Say
a simple prayer something like this:
“Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner and need you
in my life. I want to spend eternity with
you. Lord, please forgive me of my sins and
come into my heart.
You said in Romans 10:9 that if we confess with our
mouths that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts
that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Lord, transform me and take control of my
life that I might please you.
God, thank you for offering the gift of your
Son that I might be saved. Amen.”
That, my friends, is the most important
prayer you could ever say. And once you
do, you’ll want to share that with your
family and friends.
If you said that prayer just now, please
let me know. Send me an email. Thanks,
and congratulations!
Christmas is about Christ. You’d hardly
know it as you look around these days.
Please, be diligent about keeping Christ
in your Christmas. Let it be evident in
your life – to your family, friends and
work. He’ll reward you greatly as you serve Him.
—
So, perhaps not the email you expected today
from a horse training business. But nothing
could be more important to your life and to
me than to know your heart is right with the Lord.
Everything else will fall into proper perspective
once that happens.
Lord bless you and your family in this
Christmas season. And may He direct your
steps throughout the coming year.
Here’s a quick horse tip for you:
As you go out to work with your horse, have
a very specific thing you want to accomplish.
Then, just before you start, ask the Lord
to help you understand your horse, to give
you insight into the horse’s thoughts and
reactions and to direct your voice, temperament,
and actions as you train him. Ask the Lord
to keep you safe. You’ll be amazed at the
results you can get by approaching the horse
with the right attitude and understanding.
Proceed with gentleness yet firmness as
necessary. Don’t react but rather try to
understand and adjust your training to the
response your horse is displaying.
Lord bless,
Charlie
