Rydberg.<\/p>\n<p>J.J.&#8217;s an interesting guy.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;ll tell it to you as he sees it<br \/>\nand doesn&#8217;t hold back.<\/p>\n<p>We discussed his philosophy in horse<br \/>\ntraining during an interview at one time.<\/p>\n<p>I found his take on it very different<br \/>\nfrom what I&#8217;m used to hearing.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. doesn&#8217;t spend much time on<br \/>\nground work.<\/p>\n<p>He says at the end of 30 days, people<br \/>\nwant their horse loping, turning circles and<br \/>\nturning around. So the ground work is minimal.<\/p>\n<p>Trainers can go faster in training<br \/>\nbut a horse will only allow you to go only<br \/>\nso fast or you will go backwards.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. thinks a horse doesn&#8217;t learn all<br \/>\nthat much until you get on him as far as<br \/>\ntraining goes.<\/p>\n<p>Horses learn a lot of manners on the<br \/>\nground and give a little to bit pressure,<br \/>\nbut that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>But J.J. does do ground work.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, here&#8217;s his description of<br \/>\nwhat he does.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the horse, if he is fairly<br \/>\ngentle and halter broke, J.J. may spend up to<br \/>\n4 days with ground work.<\/p>\n<p>The horse gets to wear the saddle the<br \/>\nfirst day and carry a snaffle bit.<\/p>\n<p>The second day he&#8217;ll teach him to give<br \/>\na little to pressure and learn to give his<br \/>\nhead a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>The third day, he will drive him from<br \/>\nthe ground.<\/p>\n<p>If he needs another day of driving, he&#8217;ll<br \/>\ndo it if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Then the next time will likely be riding<br \/>\nthe horse.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the clincher.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. won&#8217;t pull on the horse much for<br \/>\nthe first few rides.<\/p>\n<p>He just lets them get used to him being<br \/>\nthere.<\/p>\n<p>So he&#8217;ll go for a ride and let the horse<br \/>\ngo where he wants.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you&#8217;ve been reading my tips and<br \/>\npaying attention over the past few months,<br \/>\nyou may be saying to yourself,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s not right.<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t let the<br \/>\nhorse dictate where<br \/>\nyou ride to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230;you&#8217;d be right &#8211; sort of.<\/p>\n<p>What you must remember here is J.J. is<br \/>\ntalking about a green colt at this point.<\/p>\n<p>The reason he&#8217;s not pullin&#8217; on the<br \/>\nreins and\u00a0 he&#8217;s letting them go where they<br \/>\nwant is because it&#8217;s all new to the horse.<\/p>\n<p>After all, it&#8217;s about day 4 and there&#8217;s<br \/>\nsomeone on his back.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty scary stuff to a horse.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all new.\u00a0 If you go and throw<br \/>\na bunch of new things at him while trying to<br \/>\nunderstand this new scary stuff, you&#8217;re in<br \/>\nfor a rodeo.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s why J.J. isn&#8217;t pulling on<br \/>\nthe horse and letting him go where he wants.<\/p>\n<p>After a couple lessons then they<br \/>\nstart to settle in his brain what&#8217;s going on<br \/>\nand then you can start introducing new stuff.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you&#8217;re not working with<br \/>\na green horse?\u00a0 Does this matter?<\/p>\n<p>Heck yeah!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great lesson in that you can<br \/>\ntry to teach too much.<\/p>\n<p>Just like J.J. said earlier that if<br \/>\nyou go too fast, you&#8217;ll go backwards.<\/p>\n<p>That applies to horses no matter<br \/>\nwhat.<\/p>\n<p>You know, if you haven&#8217;t seen J.J.&#8217;s<br \/>\nDVD, you really should.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s as cowboy as they come and he&#8217;s<br \/>\ndone this for so long, you&#8217;d be shocked what<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ll learn.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more, click on<br \/>\nthe following:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html<\/p>\n<p>When J.J. started showing horses,<br \/>\nhe was only 12 years old.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, in rodeo he turned pro in<br \/>\n1969 until 1984.\u00a0 Then he went back to<br \/>\ntraining horses.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m not afraid to say it&#8230;He&#8217;s<br \/>\nprobably forgot more than I&#8217;ve learned or<br \/>\nwill learn.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today&#8230;\u00a0 stay safe out there!<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
