1. Weird Injustices and Horse Training

Here’s a kind of injustice.

Every time you pay $2.79 for a box
of Wheaties with Tiger Woods on the
box, he gets a dime.

How much does the farmer make?

The farmer makes…

“Five Cents!”

Crazy, ain’t it?

The horse world certainly has its
craziness too.

For instance, when Diana Quintana and
I did her interview I asked her lots
of valuable questions.

We were talking about trailers at one
point and she noted how a lot of horses
can be traumatized in trailers.

One thing she learned “way back” was
to use astroturf in the trailer because
it was less scary for the horse.

Now how weird is that?

She also noted that Black Rhino Plastics
the stuff you spray on pickup beds) seems
to scare horses too.

A fair amount of people like to use it
in their trailers but Diana has found it has
a tendency to scare horses.

Diana also iterated that light interiors seem
to be less scary than dark ones.

Now that I can see.  (No pun intended)

Diana’s trained over 20 years and has
amassed incredible knowledge.

The horse trailer trauma stuff is only
a part of it.

But she’d be the first to tell you that the
basics are what you stick to.

Don’t go lookin’ for the “newest” thing.

Why?

Because it doesn’t exist.

What matters is what works and taking
your time with it.

One of her most valuable training tools she
uses is the simple hay baling string.

She uses it to teach a horse to give.

Actually, she lets the horse teach
himself how to give.

How does she do it?

She ties a piece of the string from the saddle
D-Ring through the snaffle bit rings back up to the horn.

Then she’ll bring his head to one side
and little and let him learn to give to it.

The big thing is not tying their head
around too far.

Why?

Because they’ll start to turn in circles.

So just start with tying their head around a little.
Don’t let their head be tied for more
than 10 minutes because they may cramp their neck muscles.

Then do the other side.

Diana says if you do this several days
in a row the horse will learn to give on both
sides – and the best part is…

“You aren’t fighting
the horse – he’s fighting himself.”

This is part of Diana’s 30 Day horse training plan –
if you haven’t seen it yet, click the following:

You’ll find that getting a horse to teach himself
something rather than fighting you is the way to go.

It saves a lot of time too.

In fact, I know another trainer I discussed this with
and she said if she finds herself fighting with the horse
to get him to give…she goes to the round pen and does
just what Diana describes.

She claims it’s one of her best kept secrets.

2. The Beery Pulley Bridle:
Many are simply shocked at how well it works

I got a real nice email from Michele in England that I
want to share.  Michele bought the Beery Pulley Bridle
and tried it out on her horse, Stormy.  She had to write
and tell me the good news!

I’ll let her email speak for itself:

———————————————————–
Hi there Charlie, I hope you are well.

I bought a Beery Pulley Bridle from you. I would like you
to add this comment to your testimonials about this
amazing piece of equipment.

My pony a 13.2 pure bred Haflinger 5 years old is very
difficult to handle as he is extremely nervous. He has
never been mistreated so I put this down to being
very green. He doesn’t bite or kick but has a very bad
habit of rearing (again just green) on Monday I went to
put a saddle on his back (not broken to be ridden yet)
and with the use of the bridle he was as good as gold.

He has had a saddle on before but not for awhile and
last time I tried to put a saddle on him before I got
the bridle it proved impossible. I always make sure
the bridle is on correctly with the pulley being between
the eye and the ear and on Monday I even managed to
lean with my full weight on his back which was a first.

The great thing about this bridle is, although it
works in a similar way to a gag, the rope bit does
not cause any discomfort to the animal which is great.

Leading him now is also so much easier and I feel
like I have more control. He is such a beautiful
little pony who I love to bits and I wouldn’t want
to do anything to hurt him so this bridle has
been a God send.

Thank you so much for introducing me to this
product and keep up the good work.

WARMEST REGARDS

another testimonial about how well (and easy) the
Beery Pulley Bridle works.

Hey – for others of you who have used the Pulley Bridle,
please send me a note with your experiences.  I’d love
to add your comments to the rest of them.  Thanks.

That’s it for today.

All the best…  stay safe out there!

You Can’t Blame It On The Horse (All The Time)

In Today’s Magazine Issue:

“You Can’t Blame It On The Horse (All The Time)”

Here’s a nice note from Mitch in Tucson:
————————————————–
“Charlie, I just wanted to let you know, I get a
lot of horse emails. Most of them I delete.
I really look forward to yours though and keep
them in a folder to look back on.

Thanks for all you do for the horse community!”

In Today’s Magazine Issue:

“You Can’t Blame It On The Horse (All The Time)”

It’s common……  A horse won’t do somethin’
and it’s their fault.

Or is it?…

You know, a horse is basically perfect
in every sense.

What I mean is…before we get our hands on ’em, they
can already do what we want them to do.
(for the most part).

They already know how to back up, move
forward, turn, etc.

But when you throw the human in the
equation,…look out.

Everything’s different.

We think the horse oughta do what
we ask because we know what we want…so why doesn’t
the horse do it?

The lesson is, he “CAN” do it, but
we just haven’t explained what we want and how
we want it done.

That’s basically what training is all about.

First, the horse has to know what you want.

And when you’re sittin’ there kissin’
to ’em, they’re trying to figure out what you want.

To make it clear what you want…

“Do everything you can
to set your horse up
to successfully do what you asked.”

That means if you want him to, say,
lunge to the left then you better give him a big,
convenient opening so he can move that direction.

Make it so danged easy for him to
go to left that he does it.

And when he does, let him do it.

Stop kissing to him so he “clearly”
knows that’s what you wanted.

This is the case whenever you work with a horse.

Early on, horses don’t know their leads, don’t know
how to balance under you, so it’s up to us to stay
centered and squared so they can do their job.

This is one of the points Kenny Scott
reveals in his DVD about controlling all four
corners of your horse.

If you want to know more about Kenny,
click on the following:

http://HorseTrainingResources.com/dvd-kennyscott.html

We must remember that if the horse didn’t do
right…whose fault was it?

Did we explain it well enough?

Does he really know what you’re asking?

Did you get in his way?

Who’s to blame here?

Our human egos get in the way and fool
us into believing the horse is dumb.

“He should know that!”, we angrily
say to ourselves.

But…should he?

If it was explained to him day after day
through repetition…then yes!, he should
know it as long as he’s been doing it.

Frankly, if your horse isn’t doing something,
it’s high time we look at ourselves.

I’m gonna tell you something you may
not wanna hear.  And that is this.

If your horse is doing something you
don’t want him doing, or doesn’t do something
you want him to do…

“The First Place To Look
to Correct The Problem Is Yourself.”

Here’s a for instance.

I got an email from a subscriber who
said her new horse was “great for the first 2 weeks.”

Slowly and steadily he became pushy
and pinned ears at her, and so on.

After checking into it, this horse
owner was not taking the leadership role.

She did a few things to kill her position as her
horse’s boss and now the horse was boss.

Unfortunately, this horse owner should
have read up on her subject and learned
as much as she could.

Now, I ain’t sayin’ a horse’s problem is always
the owner’s fault.

I’m just sayin’ that’s the first place
to look to correct the problem.

OK…Until next time – stay safe around your horses!

Madonna Injured In Horse Riding Accident – Horseback Riding Can Be Dangerous!

Madonna Injured In Horse Riding Accident
Horseback Riding Can Be Dangerous!

I just read a new blip about Madonna getting injured in a fall while horseback riding this past weekend.

Now – trust me -I have NO interest in Madonna or her talents on stage or off.  I am a horse person.  And this story got my attention.

What’s interesting is how this accident happened…..

Madonna’s spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said,

“The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer, who was visiting friends”.

I JUST wrote an article about Does Your Horse React or Respond?

Clearly, paparazzi jumping out of the bushes is a scary thing to both the horse and rider and is completely irresponsible.  The photographer should be booked.

But it does highlight the need to  work with your horses to be able to ride-through and control these types of events – because they happen.

Madonna’s horse experiences gets the headlines.  Actually, anything Madonna does gets headlines.

When it crosses over into horseback riding safety then it gets my attention.  And not before…..
