Here’s a couple recent comments from folks:
“Your uplifting words always give me new
ideas for working with my horse. Thank you!”
“I really enjoy reading the mail I receive
from you. It is very informative with a
sense of humor at times.”
Thanks for the notes. We appreciate getting them.

1. Would You Want Your Horse To Stop If This Happened?
In rodeo competitions, the rider chases a calf.
The horse zooms up next to the calf,
and at the right moment, the cowboy slides off his
horse, onto the calf, and the wrestling match begins.
The horse is trained to do run up to
and along side the calf so the cowboy
can do his thing.
But what if you’re not as good at riding
a horse as these guys?
What if you have a son or daughter who
you worry about falling off the horse
and the horse doesn’t stop?
That would be especially bad if a foot
was caught in the stirrup.
Ouch.
Would you rather have a horse taught to
stop or slow down if you’re falling off?
Why would you want that?
Well, if you’re not a rodeo-er or into
Dressage, etc., then chances are you’re
more into trail ridin’ and easy goin’ stuff.
T’ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. In fact,
that’s a very big portion of the horse industry today.
So if you’re not an experienced rider, break easier
‘n you used to, and want your horse to stop if you
fall off or maybe even slow down if he feels you
slipping, that can be done.
Diana Quintana, one of our featured trainers,
teaches that very thing to horses.

She’ll take a ‘deflated innertube’
(with the stem removed) and put it on a horse.
She’ll start by having the horse walk around
with it on. Not trot or lope…walk. (I might
add the horse may need to get used to it being
on his back first. You can’t always throw it
on and go.)
Anyway, once the tube is on, have the horse
walk a calm, steady pace.
As he does, watch for the inner tube to
come off… because it will.
As it starts to slip, the horse will notice it.
That’s the horse’s cue…when it starts to slip.
That mimics a rider starting to slip off.
Then when the tube hits the ground, stop the horse.
And once it’s on the ground around the horses
feet, you want him to accept it and not freak
out about it.
You want him calm and cool about it.
Why?
Because you always want your horse to remain
calm and cool regardless of the situation. That
way, you don’t have to fight a thousand pounds of
out-of-control muscle.
Instead, it’s taught self control.
When you get him doing this well at the walk then
you can go to the trot – but not until then.
Now there’s a little more to it than what I told
you because words don’t do it justice, some
things ought to be seen for clarity.
But you get the gist.

you might take a look at it. To read about

2. The Horse Library – A Wealth of Horse Training
Information at a fraction of the cost you’d normally
pay.
As most of you know, we launched The Horse Library
website a week ago. Lots of folks took advantage
of the Charter Membership – -thanks.
We’re already planning quite a few additions to the
articles and to the “Resource Videos” selections.
In fact, we’ll be reorganizing the articles into more
categories since we’ll have too many to list in a single
column.
I have recently secured distribution rights to some
old movies that are horse related and we’ll be putting
those up as we have a chance to get them converted.
http://www.TheHorseLibrary.com/
So what? Well, for those who acted quickly they are
locked in at the low Charter Membership rate.
For those who act now, the Gold rate is still an
extremely good bargain when you get a chance to see
all the content that is in the Library!
Over time, as the Library grows, we’ll continue to
raise the price. However, anyone who subscribes early
will always be guaranteed the rate they signed up at.
It only makes sense – we want to reward those who
act early.
Plus – don’t forget – members of The Horse Library
also get 20% off our products and 30% off all our
DVDs (except “any Horse, any Rider”). Just another
benefit of being a member. And we have a few
surprises for you in the coming weeks as well!
If you haven’t looked at The Horse Library then I
would urge you to at least jump over there and see.
Run your mouse over each of the menu items to see what’s
there. I think you’ll agree that, for the volume of
books, articles, and videos there there’s no better
value on the net for professional horse training info.

Ok…that’s it for today. Stay safe around your horses!

P.S. Remember – you can save 20% on all videos for the
next few days. Use coupon code VIDEO on the checkout page.
