[Lots of folks are taking advantage of
this…and for a good reason!]

1. “Want Your Horse To Stop?  Quit Riding!”

Interestingly, you can get a horse
to stop (normally) by simply….

“Quit Riding”

True.

You see, there’s an powerful phenomenon
in the horse’s brain that’s useful to us
horsey people.

Kenny Scott, one of our featured trainers,
said it like this:

“A horse will move with your
motion without even knowing why.”

Thus, if you are “riding” (in other words, not
sitting in the saddle like a lump of flesh…instead
you’re actually moving your body and hips rhythmically),
then your horse will move.

If you quit, your horse will sense that and
quit too.

Not always…but generally.

Even if he doesn’t quit, he can be taught
to quit when you quit riding.

Anyway, J.J. Rydberg (another one of our
excellent trainers) says in his video:

“Get to the point when you hardly have
to pull on the reins to stop.  When you
sit down, he stops.”

This is powerful advice and here’s why.

Any time…and I mean “any time” you don’t
have to pull on a horse…

“Don’t!”

Why?

Let me ask you this.

How’d ya like to be pulled on constantly?

Just cuz he’s a horse doesn’t mean
he’s okay with it.

It can feel like he’s bein’ picked on which
in turn makes him less willing to learn and cooperate.

Now…back to the “quit riding” thing…

I want you to try this experiment and see
for yourself how powerful this advice is.

First, hold out your right hand in front
of you with palm down.

Now put your left hand “on top” of your
right hand.

Grip the top of your right hand with your
left hand just enough so that when you relax your
left arm, your hand stays on your right hand.

Now move your right hand in a circular
motion forward and backward sort of like how
a horse would move.

Very quickly, you’ll find it fatigues your
right arm.

Now while your moving your right arm in
that circular fashion, don’t allow your
left hand to rest on top of your right hand.

Make your left hand move with your right
hand while it resides on your right hand.

See the difference?

The analogy is your left hand is like the
rider on the horse.

The left hand rides when it moves with the
right hand.

But when it just sits on the right hand like
a lump of dough, it’s tiring.  It’s no fun.

“THAT’S” what I mean about stopping your horse.

In other words, quit riding kind of like
what your left hand does when it rests on
the right hand.

The flip side, of course, is to “ride”
when you want your horse to move.

A minute ago, I mentioned these principles
came from J.J. Rydberg and Kenny Scott.

If you want to read more about them,
click the following:

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/dvd-kennyscott.html

And here’s a tip that never occurs to a lot of horse owners.

If your horse is slow to move, sluggish,
or just stops after a few feet…the reason
“may be” that you aren’t riding.

Yeah…you’re in the saddle.

But are you “riding” or just sitting?

Don’t Give Up With Your Horse Training

2. Don’t Give Up

———————————————————-
1. Our Anniversary Sale

Tuesday I announced our Anniversary Sale.
Well, today is our actual Anniversary!

And that, my friends, is how you help us
celebrate our Anniversary!  Thanks for joining
in.  And, thanks for your business.

Now, back to our horse tips….

==================================================

2. Don’t Give Up

It’s hot and humid here and throughout the midwest.

I probably don’t have to tell you but make
sure your horses are getting plenty of fresh
water and have shade available.  Watch for
signs of stress.

It’t not a lot of fun to be out working
with the heat index hovering around 110 – 120.
But, things will cool down.  Hopefully, this
is short lived.

How are you coming with your horses now
that summer is here?  I’ve received quite
a few responses from those who are diligently
working with their horses and seeing results.

Results don’t always come quickly.  But I
assure you that if you persevere you will
make headway!  Don’t give up.

Do you have a lot of pesky issues to work
on?  Or perhaps want to start more advanced
training like reining or even tricks?

One thing I hear a lot is about safety
and respect.  Your horse simply must
respect you as leader and respect your
space.  Your safety, as well as the safety
of your horse, is paramount.

Whether you’re starting a colt or have
a 20 year old mare or gelding, you likely
have a lot of work to do with your
horses.

Groundwork, reining, building respect,
shying, dangerous habits and more?

Are you putting up with all kinds of
pesky problems that can be very frustrating?
Are you risking your safety around a horse
that bucks, rears, bites, kicks, crowds
your space or worse?

Are you and your horse lacking confidence
in each other and need some solid training?

Most of the time all we need is a little
bit of knowledge and time to fix a lot of
problems.  Horse training is all about
teaching the rider first, then the horse.

You can’t adequately teach the horse anything
if you don’t fully undertand the problem, know
how a horse learns and then know how
to apply that knowledge to teach the horse.

That sounds very basic, and pardon me if I’m
being a bit blunt here, but many horse
owners just don’t get it.  So many think
that if they just speak calmly and love
the horse that Mr. Horse will respond and know
what to do.

Sorry to bust your bubble if that’s what
you think but it just doesn’t work that
way.  You need to understand how they
think and have a plan to fix each,
individual problem, one at a time.

And that’s why we sell our DVDs featuring
profesional horse trainers who know
this stuff.  It’s their life.  It’s
what they do.  They know how to get results.

Here’s a frequent question I get:

“Charlie – I can’t afford $40 – $60
for a DVD or your $99.00 specials.

Can I just buy ONE at a lower price?”

Well, due to lots of things including
production, advertising, hired help,
web costs, fees, taxes, licensing costs,
etc. it is very expensive to sell a
single item a low price.

But we are once again offering you
an opportunity to do just that.

With our Anniversary Sale you can
save lots on just one DVD and, if you
choose to buy more, you can save even
more.

Don’t put off for tomorrow what you know
you should be doing today.  Especially
when it comes to your safety.

That reminds me of the old saying:

“A stich in time save nine.”

No truer words have been spoken about
horses as well.  Each little thing you
fix now will take you down the trail
later and you’ll enjoy it sooooo much more!

With each thing you teach them you are
also building a bond with them.  You’ll
both build a respect for each other in the process.

That alone will save you from all kinds of
problems in the future.

See how it works?  It’s worth taking the
time now to do it.

Here’s the link to our DVD selections:

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/DVD.html

Pick out the ones you need for now, put them
into the shopping cart and then use either one
of these two Coupon Codes:

A27 – and get 27% OFF any one DVD selection.

A32 – and get 32% OFF any two or more DVDs.

OK?  Ready to take on those issues and finally
get them resolved?  Click the link below:

http://www.horsetrainingresources.com/DVD.html

Remember – Don’t Give Up!!

And – please email your successes and what
lessons you learned.  I’ll share them with
others to help encourage them.  Sometimes
that’s all we need – just a little encouragement
and reinforcement.

That’s it for today.  Stay safe out there.

Charlie

P.S. Remember – the Anniversary Sale ends
Saturday.  The coupon codes are A27 and A32.
Enjoy!

========================================================

“I ordered the “Prof. Berry’s Illustrated Manual
in Horse Training about a year ago, and I refer
to it all the time!

I also LOVE getting your tips via email! Thanks!

Keep up the good work!

Denise C.”
