“Is Your Honeymoon Over With Your Horse?”
Are you getting disillusioned with your love for your horse?
Things not progressing like you had hoped?
You probably didn’t start this horse-crazed hobby with all the knowledge you needed to be successful.
Just like we can find a mate and fall in love, many do that with their horses, too. We see those big eyes staring back at us, see that majestic animal in the pen or out in the pasture and immediately fall in love. We start dreaming of trail riding or showing or just wanting to be around this new love and start a new relationship with all the giddiness of your first kiss…
Some go ga-ga and don’t have a clue what they’re getting into.
You’ve Been Bit By The Horse Lovin’ Bug:
It happens every day to hundreds of new horse lovers.
Then, reality sets in and we have to start training or fixing problems. Perhaps that new love has some quirks – he bites, kicks, rears or bucks. He won’t come to you and you can’t catch him in the pasture.
He won’t let you pick up his feet or he won’t stand to let you groom him or put on his saddle.
It Starts To Get Frustrating:
He won’t walk, turn or stop right. You jerk, kick, pull, scream and get frustrated. Now the horse is even more confused and doesn’t have a clue what you want because you haven’t learned enough to know how to get him to move properly.
Sound familiar to some of you?
The Horse Gets Frustrated With You:
Then the horse gets frustrated with you and all your pulling and negative tone in your voice.
At some point he wants to get rid of all this pressure (horses will push against or flee pressure).
And how does he do that? By rearing or bucking you off. Or perhaps taking off on a run as you hold on for dear life.
That’s his defensive action. Yo don’t want to take a horse to that point if you can help it!
CSI – The Horse Pen:
What just happened is natural for the horse but your lack of understanding and training sees this as a “bad horse”.
Sound familiar? Ever seen this before?
Are you living with some of those issues right now?
Who’s Issue Is This?
Sometimes we have to come to the realization that the problem is with us, not the horse. Gulp!
Anything worth doing is worth doing right. If you don’t have control of your horse then you’re skirting danger.
I know this – a 1,000+ pound horse which has lightning-fast reactions and enormous strength is a time bomb waiting to go off, even with a trained handler or rider.
Do me and yourself a favor right now – if you’re not willing to learn how to handle that horse correctly and safely, and train him so it’s safe to ride, then please get rid of him. Don’t put yourself and others in harm’s way. Statistics show that you’ll get hurt and many times it will lead to broken bones, concussions, or worse.
That may sound harsh but it happens way too often. If I’m the first one to tell it to you that way and it keeps you, others or even your horse from getting hurt, then I’ll do it.
It’s sort of like the new couple who are blinded by love and don’t see the train wreck coming in their lives.
(My wife and I see this frequently – we do a lot of
pre marriage counseling in our church)
Get Help and Learn:
Seek out those more experienced and trusted who have proven themselves and listen to them.
However – beware! There are some that want to sell you a magic potion that would solve all your horse problems in a few days. Run from them. Seek other help.
Experience and insight take time to learn. It’s true with almost any skill.
Horse training is no different.
A Horse Training Truth:
Here’s a huge truth about horse training that you need to understand:
The majority of the problem is with the trainer and not the horse. Until the one doing the training understands how horses learn and know how to get the horse to start properly acting on the commands over and over each time when asked, then nothing good is going to come out of the training attempts.
You MUST understand the nature of the horse, how his brain works and how he learns.
Know this: the horse already has the ability to do all the basic stuff you want it to do. It’s up to the trainer to teach the horse each command and act on it properly in a controlled fashion.
Let me state that again so it sinks in:
“The horse already has the ability to do all the basic stuff you want it to do. It’s up to the trainer to teach the horse each command and act on it properly in a controlled fashion.”
So, how do you get there you ask?
You study, you watch others do it successfully and learn along the way. It doesn’t happen over night.
Tell me ANY valuable skill or trade you have learned that didn’t take quite a while to learn and master.
We have assembled various resources to help you and we have never sugar-coated or “hyped” the results attempting to get you to do otherwise. We wouldn’t be in business long if we did.
Solutions To Problems:
Our 8 Volume Jesse Beery Course is one of the standards in horse training that has been proven over 100 years of use and by nearly 300,000 horse owners. Jesse Beery truly understood the mind of the horse and you can learn a lot just by absorbing some of his wisdom, if not his training methods.

A very high percentage of today’s successful trainers cut their teeth on the Jesse Beery course.

If you’re just starting out learning about horseback riding then read about our Beginners Guide here:
http://www.
Hundreds of new riders and horse owners have started with that book and have found it very useful.
And, of course, we have a full set of DVDs by professional horse trainers that cover a multitude of lessons about everything from de-spooking their horse, to teaching sliding stops and spins, and how to teach your horse reining, etc.
If you’ll take the time to listen closely and learn from these proven professionals you’ll pick up a multitude of horse training “gems” or “nuggets”
that you can apply to any horse in lots of situations.
http://www.
Listening to these professionals is like learning from the “Jedi Master” in their own specialty. You can learn a lot if you pay attention. Actively study their techniques and take notes. You’ll learn a lot.
If you’re looking for a quick, overnight or microwave fix to your horse problems then please don’t bother with our products.
There’s plenty of folks that will pitch immediate results and take your money but you’ll find yourself going from vendor to vendor and finally come to the realization that such a product and method doesn’t exist.
Proper horse training takes knowledge, time and patience. There’s no shortcuts.
Watch our professional trainers on our DVDs.
Take notes. Watch actively and understand why a trainer approaches the problems and methods the way that they do.
I promise you – you’ll learn a lot more than what you originally got the DVD for if you will watch it more than once.
http://www.
Pretty soon the weather will be improving and you’ll be itchin’ to be out with your horses. There’s no better time than right now to start learning what you need to learn and be ready for those training sessions as you with your horses.
With just a little effort you can enjoy your horses a LOT more and ride much more safely.
Isn’t that what you got them for? Let me encourage you to get a few steps closer to that dream and keep that honeymoon alive!

Here’s a nice note from Loretta in response to my email a couple days ago titled:
“Do You Know Annie Oakley’s Secret?”
“Hi,
I just wanted you to know that this is one of my favorite emails, repetition and consistency and frequent practice! That’s what it is all about.
I do have Sam’s video and I am a Library member I still am not brave enough to lope a horse, but I like a calm responsive one and all your tips help with that.
The “little things” video is also very helpful with earning respect. I am a 4H horse bowl coach and the repetition and practice helps the kids too!
Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Loretta”
