“Two Effective Horse Training Rules You Should Know”
But first:
——————————————————-
“Charlie – are you for real?”
I got a call from a skeptical wanna-be customer this
morning. Ed from Florida called and wanted to take
advantage of one of the Christmas Specials we’re having:
“Buy 2 DVDs and get one Free” (lots of folks have taken
advantage of this offer)
Anyway – Ed said he’s been burned online before and
was wondering why his free DVD wasn’t being shown on
the order form. He wanted to confirm we weren’t a
scam and picked up the phone and called and verified
we were actually here!
And you know what – I don’t blame him for a moment.
Lord knows there plenty of folks out there ready to
take your money and run.
We’ve been online now for 3 years and have many
hundreds of satisfied customers and folks who get
our frequent email tips.
I was able to calm Ed’s concerns and he went ahead and
completed his order. His order shipped less than
two hours later.
Laura from NY ordered the Jesse Beery course and
we shipped her order in less than 5 minutes after
receiving it – we had someone making a mail run to
town and I held them up just as I saw her order come in.
Folks – we’ll do our best to ship everything on the
same day – or worst case – next day.
We ran short on a couple DVD titles after a blitz of
orders over the weekend but we’ll be fully stocked
by Wednesday morning and be caught up.
Take advantage of our Christmas Special. It ends
this Friday, Dec. 19th:

Back to our tip:
“Two Effective Horse Training Rules You Should Know”
It’s what breaks down the bond between you
and your horse.
It’s called…
“Frustration”
Frustration leads to anger.
Anger makes the horse training thing
nearly impossible.
And the thing is, it’s not just anger
from you.
Your horse can get mad too.
Just cuz he’s a horse doesn’t mean he
won’t get miffed at you.
I’ve often thought if a horse could
speak English, he’d stop, look back at me and
ask…
“What **BLEEEEP!** are
you doin’ back there?!”
But since he can’t talk English, we
have to be aware of his language.
A swishing tail.
A bobbing head.
Ears.
And so on.
But here’s the thing.
When we filmed J.J. Rydberg he said:
“When you run into problems, go
back to the basics, soften up
on the way you ride him. Forcing
him will make it worse.”
So…that’s Rule #1.
Soften up, go back to the basics, and
don’t try to force him because it’s akin to
dousing a fire with gasoline.
As an example, if you’re riding a
horse and you tap your leg on his shoulder
to ask him to move away from it…and he
doesn’t…then thumping him harder, faster,
and gettin’ mad will make it worse.
So think back to Rule #1: Soften
up, go back to the basics, and don’t try
to force him.
Think of it like this.
If you didn’t get what someone was
trying to tell you and they started smackin’
you…do you REALLY think you’d try to
understand what they’re trying to tell you?
Don’t know about you, but if I was
gettin’ thumped on and I didn’t know why and
it kept getting worse…I’d bite back.
Never mind about trying to do what
was being asked of me.
This is one of J.J.’s rules he reveals
in his DVD. If you want to know more about
him, click on the following:
His second rule is this.
If your horse is mad, just ride him
around.
It’s like letting off steam – or as
us humans call it…”venting”.
Just think to yourself,
“I don’t need to fight him.”
Besides, if you fight him, who do you
think is going to win?
You?
Or the 1200 pounds of bone, muscle,
and raw emotion?
That’s it – stay safe out there!
