“Charlie,
I just want to say thank you. I have been around horses
all my life. From old timers who tie a foot up to get on,
to teaching a horse to stand. My son is now in love so
much with horses as I was.
I read your tips over and over to teach him right. My horse
days don’t work to good with my body. But I can still talk
my son through it.
thank you,
lucky”

Thanks, Lucky. We really appreciate the note!

1. Can You Help Your Horse With His Thinking?
Here’s trainer Andy Curry with some great tips:
Ever think about this?
How does your horse act?
Did you ever think about why he acts
like he does?
For instance, if you have a belligerent horse,
he may be like that because he ‘thinks’
he won’t be safe if he ‘isn’t’ belligerent.
Ones that are aggressive may be that
way because they feel out of control if they ‘aren’t’ aggressive.
After all, they’re in an environment
full of pressure.
Maybe they can’t leave the stable when
they want.
They can’t walk away from biting flies.
Think about this.
All the pressures (most anyway) are
pressures ‘WE’ put on them that they wouldn’t normally have done to themselves.
Did you ever think about that?
After all, who would purposely hurt
themselves if they were ‘in their right mind’?
No one I know of.
There’s a guy in our town who I find
is a bit scary.
As a child he grew up in a foster family.
I’m betting he didn’t get the love and
attention that so many of us did.
He did a 2 or 3 year prison stint be-
cause he was an accessory to burglary.
Although he’s not gone back to prison,
has a wife and 2 kids, and has had a job for several years,…he’s still scary.
Why?
When I talk to him I wonder if he’s
just going have an uncontrollable urge to reach up and hit me just to show me he can.
Sounds strange, I know.
He’s been known to talk about his prison stint…almost as if he’s proud of it.
I’ve often heard him say, ‘When I was in prison….’
He’s said to me, ‘I hate rich people. I’d just as soon beat ’em than look at them.’
My thought at the time was, ‘…am I glad I’m not rich!’
He’s argumentative even when you’re not arguing with him.
He kind of looks for it for whatever reason.
And so on, and so on.
How did this man, who was someone’s baby and born
with an empty slate, become like this?
While I’m far from an expert, my ‘guess’
is his experiences made him that way.
His ‘beliefs’ arise from the way he was treated.
Perhaps he felt mistreated by people he thought were
rich and therefore.. all rich people are the enemy.
I don’t know.
But I still think he’s a product of his experiences.
What’s this got to do with horses?
Everything, actually.
Every second you’re with your horse you’re training him.
What you do triggers a response in him.
They say you can tell what the owner’s
like by what the horse says.
Thus, if you have a disrespectful horse it’s said the
owner gets willingly walked on and/or doesn’t know how
to handle the situation.
It could also be that the owner doesn’t know what a
horse’s disrespect is or what it looks like nor do
they understand how serious that problem really is.
But an aggressive horse?
That could result from lots of things but one is not being treated fairly.
Did the horse learn if he got aggressive he could stop the unfairness?
If so, I ask…’Why, then, wouldn’t he
be aggressive?’
It makes sense.
So here’s what I want you to know.
When I interviewed Linda Braddy she said this profound statement:
‘It’s important we gentle
our horses in a way they
understand that we’re
going to take care of them
and they’ll cooperate.’
To the greenhorn, this statement would
normally bounce off the ears and not be thought through.
But if you get what I just said about
experiences making the horse what he is at that moment
(give or take some instinctual stuff), then you can
move mountains with your horse.
If you’re not sure you’re up to speed
then go get lessons, read books, and watch DVD’s.
I don’t care who’s books and DVD’s you
go through – as long as you keep at it.
The more you learn from different trainers, the more
ideas you get. The wider your knowledge becomes.
Soon, you find yourself getting incredible responses and
actions from your horse because of what you learned and put to use.
Soon, you find you’re not asking as many questions
but are instead answering other people’s.

Remember, teach your horse in a way he understands –
that’s what Linda’s all about.

2. Can This New Bridle Help You?
We just released the new design of the Pulley Breaking Bridle
this week. The response has been great.
We know most of you don’t care about all the details of how we
make it, what research and trials we went through, etc.
You’re biggest questions are probably:
“Will it work for me?” and “Is it worth the investment?”
And that’s exactly what I’d be asking if I were in your boots!
I don’t like to hype things and get folks all jazzed up
so they go on a buying frenzy. That’s not what we’re about.
But when you know you have a solid product that works
amazingly well and your customers write all kinds of
letters mentioning how well it worked for them in such
a short time then…. it’s hard not to get a little
excited!
So here’s the deal:
Please read the info on the website about the pulley bridle.
If it isn’t something you need or could use then perhaps
you might be able to use it in the future.
However, if your horses are exhibiting some bad behaviors
and you need help NOW, get the bridle, try it out and
see if it doesn’t do what we say.
If it doesn’t, if you think we’re just full of it, then
return it in 30 days for a refund.
I think you’ll be amazed like so many others were. And
I’d love to read and publish your letter, too.
Fair enough? Click the link below to get yours:

Stay safe with your horses….
Charlie
P.S. Quite a few of your are taking advantage of the
bundle pricing and getting the Jesse Beery course along
with the pulley bridle. If you were even considering
either one – the savings are significant right now.

Just learning, or want to learn, to ride?
Here’s the best way to start before you mount for the first time.
You’ll learn more in just a few hours than many times the cost
of the book in lessons.
It’s not a substitute for lessons – it just gets you started
before you start. Your instructor will be impressed with your
knowledge… a nice position to be in!
