is the worst in my experience.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the biggest mistake I see.<\/p>\n<p>A person&#8217;s riding along and the horse<br \/>\npicks up speed.<\/p>\n<p>The rider says &#8220;whoa&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>When the rider says that, he or she<br \/>\nreally meant &#8220;slow down&#8230;you&#8217;re scaring me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They pull on the reins and say &#8220;whoa&#8221;<br \/>\nand the horse does NOT learn that whoa means<br \/>\nstop.<\/p>\n<p>Whoa means he&#8217;s going to get a sharp<br \/>\npain in his mouth from the reins being pulled.<\/p>\n<p>Then he may slow down from that&#8230;he<br \/>\nmay not.<\/p>\n<p>If he does slow down and the rein pressure<br \/>\nis released, the horse will learn that whoa means<br \/>\nto&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Slow down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>T&#8217;ain&#8217;t what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Soon when you want him to stop and you&#8217;re<br \/>\npullin&#8217;

I tend to agree.<\/p>\n<p>He said for a horse to do what you<br \/>\nask&#8230;that&#8217;s a response.<\/p>\n<p>If he does it because he&#8217;s not sure, then<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s a reaction.<\/p>\n<p>You want a response&#8230;not a reaction.<\/p>\n<p>He gave an excellent example.<\/p>\n<p>When you walk across the carpet and touch<br \/>\na door knob and get shocked&#8230;you react.<\/p>\n<p>When you sit down to watch TV and use the<br \/>\nremote&#8230;that&#8217;s a response.<\/p>\n<p>How you get response is to build trust.<\/p>\n<p>To get trust, there has to be a reward<br \/>\nsystem,..a certain amount of respect.<\/p>\n<p>Those words of wisdom are a gift from<br \/>\nKenny Scott who&#8217;s trained horses nearly all his<br \/>\nlife.<\/p>\n<p>Never forget those words.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more of what Kenny<br \/>\nshows, click on the following:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html<\/p>\n<p>Remember.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful not to confuse your horse.<\/p>\n<p>Confusion leads to fear.<\/p>\n<p>Fear gets you reaction.<\/p>\n<p>But trust&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Trust gets you response.<\/p>\n<p>The difference is night and day.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html<\/p>\n<p>OK?\u00a0 Go forth with your horses&#8230;but stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
