2. “Me, Me, Me In Horse Training”

It’s about ME.

Not me myself.

It’s about the word ‘me’.

One of the most useful and effective
horse training tricks I’ve learned from trainers
is that of Aaron Mills.

I mean…I REALLY like this.  I use it a lot.

You see, when we filmed Aaron, he took
on a horse with problems the owner thought
were insurmountable.

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/aaronmills

The owners couldn’t catch him to
put a halter on him  – much less saddle him.

From the horse’s point of view the
saddle might as well have been a mountain lion.

So as Aaron typically does, he started
from ground zero.

Put the horse in the round pen, get him
moving, and see where he’s at.

After the horse circled several times
Aaron would ask him to whoa.

When he stopped, Aaron said,

‘Me, me, me’

Of course, this was new to the horse
and he didn’t think anything of it.

While stopped, Aaron approached the horse.

Aaron repeated ‘Me’.

As Aaron got closer the horse would
lean  to the direction he was getting ready
to run toward.

Aaron takes another step and then….

Off went the horse.

Aaron knew the horse wouldn’t stay there.
He was ready for it and expected it.

So the horse takes off away from Aaron
in the round pen.

Aaron drives him around and around.

Soon Aaron asks him again to whoa.

When he does, Aaron says ‘me, me, me’
and then approaches him again.  He repeats ‘me’.

Again the horse leans…ready to leave.

Soon he leaves and the process happens
again and again.

As you watch this, a metamorphasis starts
to take place.

Sooner ‘n you’d think, the horse begins
to understand what Aaron wants when he says ‘me’.

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/aaronmills

But even though he knows what it means
he doesn’t trust Aaron….yet.

Interestingly, Aaron is presenting the
horse a choice.

He’s not forcing him into submission.

He’s talking the horse into making a choice
to either stay with Aaron, or take off.

Aaron just keeps chippin’ away at the
horse’s decision to leave him.

Each time he leaves, Aaron makes it harder
for him to leave.

Again…chippin’ away at the horse’s decision
to leave Aaron.

Pretty soon, you see the metamorphasis go
to level two.

The horse now decides that he may stay with
Aaron because it beats runnin’ away all the time.

That running away is for the birds – it’s
tiring.  It’s hard.

Still, the horse has doubts.

He’s not as inclined to run from Aaron but
he’s not about to let a saddle touch him either.

Again…chippin’ away at the horse’s decision
to leave.

Aaron keeps up the ‘me,me,me’.

The horse has now figured out that ‘me’ means
to stay with Aaron and pay attention to him.

And THIS, my friend, is the magic in Aaron’s method.

Once that horse learns what ‘me’ means….

Once that horse made the decision it was
a lot easier to stay with Aaron rather than run…

Once that horse focused on Aaron because
he knew ‘me’ meant listen to me, pay attention, or
your decision not to won’t be pleasant…

Aaron had him.

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/aaronmills

Get that horse connected with you in this
manner and you will be shocked how that transfers to
the saddle.

When you’re out riding your horse, you’re
very often the only friend that horse has.

And because they are such social animals,
you can get ’em zero’d in on you.

They soon become so familiar with the ‘me’
that they trust it.

When they trust it, it’s something they know.

When it’s something they know, it gives them
confidence.

And when you’re out riding and your horse
spooks, it’s an extrememly valuable tool to use while
on his back.

When he spooks and suddenly forgets you’re
on his back, you can remind him very quickly and begin
using ‘me’.

He knows ‘me’.

He’s learned to come back to you.

To listen to you.

To look to you to tell him that all is okay.

It’s a technique I think everyone should know.

You’d be shocked how effective it is.

If you want to more about it, click the following:

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/aaronmills

Here’s an example of how I took Aaron’s technique
a little further.

In our Jesse Beery Horse Training Course, there’s
a section where he uses metal bowls tied together with
ropes as a specific training tool.

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/beery/

It looks sort of like a wind chime when you’ve
tied them together correctly.

Anyway, when they clang together it’s really
scary sounding to a horse.

If you stand outside the pen and shake the
bowls on the rope to clang together, watch
your horse’s reaction.

The ol’ head will come up.

His eyes will fly open.

He’ll wonder what on earth that is.

And doing it outside the pen is the first place
to do it because it’s far enough away from him that he
won’t feel as threatened.

I want him to first get used to the sound
before it gets close to him.

The next step is I bring it into the round pen.

And I just lay them in the middle and walk away.

I watch.

Those bowls are like the 800lb gorrilla in the room.

The horse knows dang good and well they’re there.

His curiosity will cause him to eventually
check them out. (Curiosity, by the way, is a very
powerful ‘built-in’ tool you often use in horse
training)

He’ll cautiously sneak up to them.

Ready to jump back and leave in case they
come and get him.

Soon, he’ll get fairly comfortable with them.

That’s when I do the next step.

This next step is like the super glue of
getting your horse to stay with you when
he wants to leave.

You’ll be amazed at how you can get your
horse to make the choice to stay with you when he’s
scared…or to run.

And you CAN get him staying with you.

It’ll send chills up your spine when you
watch him decide to stay with you when he’s scared.

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

Do You Know These Horse Laws?

“Do You Know These Horse Laws?”

Just as in the horse world, there are
laws in everything.

Many of the laws are looney.

Take this one for instance.

  In Oak Park, Illinois, it is illegal
  to cook more than 100 doughnuts in one day.

 

I’m guessing no one’s opened a Daylight
Donut or Winchell’s Donuts in Oak Park.

Here’s one that’ll make you think I’m
makin’ it up – but I’m not.  It’s a real law:

  In Idaho, it’s against the law to fish
  for trout while sitting on the back of a giraffe.

No…I’m not kidding.

Now I’m not tryin’ to discredit folks in
Illinois and Idaho.

These laws are likely old laws enacted
in the past that have been forgotten.

But what about the laws in the horse world?

There are three kinds of laws in the horse world:

One is the “Myth Laws”.

Those are laws people think are true
but they’re NOT.

The next is “Actual Laws”.

Those are the absolutes in the horse world.

The thrid is “Gray Laws”.

These are laws that depend on the situation
and the horses themselves.

They may or not be true…depending on
the situation.

  So let’s take “Myth Laws” first.

There’s a debate on the most common
mistake people make regarding horses – but it
seems to be this one.

A horse is very much like a dog.

People want to treat their horse like
they do their dog but there are so many dangers
doing that…I get real upset when I see it
happening.

A horse is, in fact, so different from
a dog that it should not be considered anything
like it unless and until you know and understand
the differences.

Why?

To be blunt…you could be killed.

I could cite multiple REAL experiences
I have received emails about or have read
about.  Treat your horse like a dog and
you’ll be sorry you did.

There are lots of “Myth Laws”.  I don’t
have time nor the energy to list and explain
them…but they’re there.

  Next is the “Actual Laws”.

These are the laws in the horse world
to really pay attention to because, for the
most part, they apply to all horses.

An example of Actual Laws are things like:

1. You have to train both sides
of the horse.

2. A horse is a prey animal.  Thus,
always treat him accordingly
to keep his fear level down.

3. Horses can feel a fly on them
yet we think we need to kick
the !@#$ out them to turn
left or right.  The problem?
They feel the kick, thank
you very much – they just
don’t know what you’re asking
of them…yet.

And so on.

The Actual Laws are something you must
absorb into your brain AND use if you’re gonna
have a horse.

Why is it so important?

Again, it boils down to your safety.

Violate an “Actual Law” and you may
end up hurt…or worse.

Know the Actual Laws, and you will be
so much safer and have a lot more fun.

  The third set of laws are the “Gray Laws”.

These are the ones that may or may not
apply to horses depending on the situation.

They’re called Gray Laws because they’re
not exactly Black and White or absolute.

An example of Gray Laws is:

1. A horse bucks with some but not others.

2. Although a horse is a horse, he is not the
same as all horses.  Therefore, not every
technique will work on every horse.

Like the other Laws, there are lots of
these but that’s all my brain could cough up at
the moment.

As you can imagine, there are so many
laws it is overwhelming.

How do you learn it all?

Truly, the shortcut way is to learn the
“Actual Laws”.

Why?

Because knowing them will wipe out they
Myth Laws.

And once you know the Actual Laws, the
Gray Laws are much easier to deal with
and figure out.

So I urge you to know the Actual Laws.

Yes, it takes time but is well worth
the effort.

A great place to learn the laws and how
they work is right from the Jesse Beery
Horse Training Course itself.

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/beery/

But don’t be fooled…

Even though the Beery course covers things
like driving and similar training, the real
meat is Jesse Beery’s complete understanding
of how a horse learns and his application of
the principles he developed over the many years
of training literally hundreds of horses.

This course is just as valuable today as it
was the day it was written.  Perhaps even more.

You see, this course was written when folks
had to rely on their horses every day.  They
had to have safe, well-minded horses or they’d
suffer.  They’re daily lives, farms and businesses
depended on horses.

You can read more about the Jesse Beery Course here:

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/beery/

We offer the Beery course in a spiral bound
book, as downloads and in audio book form.  You
can learn in any mode you so choose or prefer.

You’ll probably be interested in the Beery
pulley bridle and the 4-Way riding and training
bit, too.

We offer all these things in our Beery Bundles
you can see here:

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/bundle/

Oh – and if you want to teach a bunch of fun
tricks to you horse, Volume 8 of the Beery Course
is all about trick training.

We also offer a DVD by Sue Robertson on trick
training here:

http://horsetrainingresources.com/dvds/suerobertson-trick-training/

We also offer Sue’s trick training DVD and the
Beery course book as a bundle.  You can save a lot
of money when you get both.

Phew – that’s a lot for today.  We’ve been
workin’ like busy beavers around here and
aren’t letting up.

Kindle Books:

We’re putting more books up on Kindle, too.
In fact, I’ll have a new books I’m going to
be launching in the next couple weeks.

You can see the Kindle books here:

http://amzn.to/ZqIJy5

Stay safe out there.  Work with your horses
and get ’em respecting you.  Your life may  depend on it…

Blessings,

Charlie

P.S. The Jesse Beery course is one of those
foundational training courses that will help
ANY horse person – new or old.  See more about
his works here:

  “Dear Charlie,

Sometimes horse training can be discouraging.
I start praying, “Lord, show me what I’m doing
wrong in my training or what I need to do.”

Then I read one of the e-mails you’ve sent and
it is exactly what I needed–an answer to prayer.
Just something really simple, but really important!

Thank you so much for the helpful training tips!
Also thanks for the free download to The Basic
Horse Training Guide.  It’s nice to have a list
of the things your horse needs to accomplish to
make a great riding partner.

In Christ,
Hannah K.
From Iowa”

Do You Know Annie Oakley’s Secret?

  “Do You Know Annie Oakley’s Secret?”

Annie Oakley

Annie was a female sharpshooter back  in the horse ‘n buggy days.

To prove her sharpshooting ability,
she once had 5,000 pennies tossed into
the air, one right after the other.

She hit…      “4,777 of them!”

That’s an astounding 95.5%

Was she a natural?

Maybe.

But even a natural has to practice.

Doing something over and over can only
get you better at it.

The Secret of Repetition:

And that, my friend, is a BIG horse
training principle.

If you want your horse to do something,
it has to be explained to him…day after day.

At first, he won’t likely get it.

In fact, as he attempts what you’re
asking, it won’t be purty.

He may be a little clumsy doing it.

But you keep at it remembering that
you must explain it to your horse day
after day after day.

Don’t kick yourself if your horse doesn’t
master something right away.

It’s not your fault.  It’s normal.

He’ll get better and better as long
as the habit you’re teaching him is the
one you want him learning.

You Must Be Consistent:

That’s one place the consistency
factor comes in.

Consistently, you explain to horse
what you want him to do…day after day.

And you know what one of the best things
you should explain to your horse is?

Explaining to him how to move his
parts.

By parts I mean his body.

You see, if you divide your horse into
4 parts you would have the head and neck, the
shoulders, the barrel (rib cage), and the hindquarters.

Why divide them up like that?

Because you need a way to make it easiest for
the horse to understand what you’re asking him.

If you asked him to move all the parts
at once, he wouldn’t get it.

You and he would get frustrated and it
just wouldn’t work.

But start with a body part and just work on that
and you have a formula for success.

Now why do you want to teach him move
his body parts?

Because that’s how you get your horse
to move his whole body later.

Just think.

You touch your leg toward his flank
and immediately his hind end moves away. And that can
be done while you do a little neck reining.

You use your other leg and bump him
by the shoulder and moves his body around.

If you’ve ever ridden a horse that responds like
what I’m describing, you would settle for nothing less.

It’s exhilarating to ride (and own) a
horse that responds like that.

The Genius of Sam Burrell:

One of the best ways I’ve EVER seen
to teach this to a horse is using Sam Burrell’s

“How To Install An Operating System In Your Horse”

You can see more about it by clicking
on the following:

http://horsetrainingresources.com/dvd-samburrell.html

Even Sam would tell you that he went
for years training horses without knowing this.

And when he discovered it, everything
changed for him.

Sam told me when he discovered this he
remembered a saying from famous horseman
Ray Hunt who said:

“The first thing you need to know
is the last thing you’ll find out”

This may not be the absolute
first thing you should know,
but it’s definitely in the top 5.

If you have Sam’s DVD, I implore you
to watch it again and do this with your horse.

You will be shocked how responsive
your horse becomes.

He’ll listen better too.

Be more respectful.

And best of all, you’ll have more
fun with him and he’ll be so much safer.

http://horsetrainingresources.com/dvd-samburrell.html

OK – that’s it for today.  Stay safe around your horses.
