1. “Ride For The Cross: A Passion for Horses and the Gospel”
2. “A Secret To Getting Brickwall Stops From Your Horse”
—————
I love it when I cross paths with folks who not only
love horses but have a larger view of life than what we know
here on earth. Such is the case about a brother in Christ
by the name of Jolly Roger Holman.
Yeah – that’s his name, really.
Jolly is a name that is quite fitting and it shows in his
writing and his sense for things in his business and
his ministry.
Jolly and I have been corresponding for a while and
he’s been putting a website together. You’ll find
a lot more about Jolly there but let me share a couple
things that he’s doing and then urge you visit him:
1. The first thing you notice is he shares from his heart.
He has a love for horses but also a love for Christ
and the Gospel. His writings are a joy to read and
carry a message that will get you thinkin’. Read
what he has – his notes, articles, etc. He has a
great ministry to those who love horses and more.
2. Jolly is also a Christian counselor. He has a
B.S. in Business and an M.A. in Counseling. Read
the section on his site titled “Stirrup Deep In Trouble!”.
3. Jolly has been trimming and shoeing horses all his life.
If you live in San Luis Obispo County in CA then give
him a call. See more on his site about that.
4. A real neat product he offers on his site is a
portable round pen called the PortaFlex. I’ve never
seen anything quite so slick that you can easily
fold up and store but can get set up in minutes.
They come in all different sizes, too. It sure
beats hauling around steel tubing panels when
traveling or just want to put up a pen for a while
on your place.
There’s more – but you can find out for yourself. Click
on the link below and go check out Jolly’s site:
Sign up for his newsletter and send ’em a note to
let him know I sent ya. I’d love you all to flood
his inbox to with a message and say Hi.
You’ll find Jolly to be real caring, honest gentleman.
Something I highly value these days.

2. “A Secret To Getting Brickwall Stops From Your Horse”
Every now and then something someone says or does leaves
you speechless. Such is the case with J.J. Rydberg and
some of his training wisdom.
Just reading the story about J.J.’s past experiences on
the web site is worth it, even if you don’t want the video!

How well does your horse stop?
Does he just slow down and eventually stop?
Does he stop at all?
The most important thing a horse
should know is how to stop.
Some argue the most important thing
a horse should know is how to move forward.
I understand that thinking but in my book,
the stop is the biggee because a good hearty
“whoa” can save your life.
If your horse isn’t very good at it,
then you’re just askin’ for trouble.
Here’s a good way to get a great stop.
After you get your horse to stop, do
this…
“Back him up
a couple steps!”
Why?
Because it cements in the horse’s mind
that he won’t be going forward.
Going forward is, of course, the opposite of stopping.
So when you teach him he “won’t” be going forward,
he eventually gets it in his mind.
This is exactly what J.J. Rydberg shows in his DVD.
If you wanna know more, click on the following:

Now, here’s an extra little secret I’ll hand you on a silver platter.
Remember a minute ago I said many believe that going forward is
the most important thing a horse should know?
Well…here’s one of the reasons.
Get your horse to go forward,…keep him moving forward,…
get him where he wants to rest a little,….
and he will “WANT” to stop.
A mistake many make is asking the horse to stop before
it’s occurred to the horse that he’d like to stop.
Work him first.
Be aware of his demeanor.
Soon you’ll see he wants to stop.
When you see it, then practice your stops.
Be careful not to nag him about this either.
No one, not even horses, like to be nagged.
Get a few good stops and then just ride him
around on a loose rein.
Let him have his face and teach him
that when you’re together that it’s not all work.
He does what you ask and you let him chill out.
