How To Know What Your
Horse Thinks Of YOU?
Have you ever wondered what other people think of you?
Sometimes you can just tell.
Other times not.
With horses, one of the easiest ways to tell is this.
Ride ’em.
Yep…ride ’em.
You see, if your horse has little respect for you…it won’t be a pleasant ride.
That’s when you gotta go back to the drawing board and instill you are the chief and NOT the indian.
At the same time, you have to instill you’re the one who’s gonna take care of ’em, too.
In the real world, horses go into self-preservation and will take care of themselves first.
Why?
Reaction.
It’s their nature.
It’s not that you don’t matter – it’s just that fear seizes them and they react.
And like Brad Myers teaches…
“You have to shrink the window of time
from when they get concerned and when
they find you.”
What does that mean?
Well…when you’re out riding and your horse spooks, you want him looking to YOU to see if everything is okay.
You don’t want him takin’ off for a wild ride and then slowing down a half-mile later and THEN figuring out it’s okay now.
You’re in danger in he does.
That window of time needs to be a small as possible between him spooking and looking to YOU.
That will only happen when he sees you as the leader and not just a lump on his back.
As Brad says, if the horse is going to see you as the one who’ll take care of him, then YOU have to be the leader.
How do you get that?
You can’t be a dictator because the horse will rebel.
You can’t be a wimp either because the horse won’t gain confidence that you can take care of him.
You have to earn the horse’s respect and you cannot demand it.
You’ll get the respect by being the leader, by educating the horse, by showing them, by preparing them, and by having feel.

Brad shows lots of “Little Things” you can do to get the repsect. You’d be surprised how easy they are to do and the enormous
difference it will make.
You’d be shocked how easily and unwittingly horse owners create disrespect in their horses.
Just knowing a few tricks will make big differences.
It all begins back at the lead rope the second you put on that halter.

And always, always, always insist on what you want from your horse.
There is no gray area.
Even that little tidbit of knowledge will do wonders for you and your horse.
