that&#8217;s a horse who&#8217;s training<br \/>\nis not what it should be.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve gotten questions like:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My horse took off with<br \/>\nme yesterday and I couldn&#8217;t<br \/>\nstop him &#8211; and I was pullin&#8217;<br \/>\non his mouth as hard as I<br \/>\ncould.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Folks&#8230;it ain&#8217;t pullin on the<br \/>\nreins that&#8217;s gonna make that horse stop.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing in the horse&#8217;s natural<br \/>\nback ground that suggests or proves a<br \/>\nhorse will stop when his mouth is getting<br \/>\npulled on.<\/p>\n<p>Pulling on the reins is merely a<br \/>\nsignal to stop.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a way to communicate you want<br \/>\nhim to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting deep in the saddle is another<br \/>\ncommunication to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Another is the verbal command.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know it takes about 30 days to get<br \/>\na horse to learn vocal cues?<\/p>\n<p>People think a horse understands the<br \/>\nwords but in reality, they associate<br \/>\nthe sound made with the desired action.<\/p>\n<p>Ever see someone ride and they want<br \/>\ntheir horse to slow down and they say &#8220;Whoa!!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>What they really meant is &#8220;slow down&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Before long, the horse thinks whoa<br \/>\nmeans slow down.<\/p>\n<p>So you gotta be careful what you say<br \/>\nto your horse as you get him to associate<br \/>\nthe action you want.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, trainer Diana Quintana<br \/>\nis v-e-r-y careful about what she<br \/>\nsays to her horses.<\/p>\n<p>If she wants a horse to lope she&#8217;ll kiss<br \/>\nto the horse.<\/p>\n<p>As she says a kiss means &#8216;get with it&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>When she wants the horse to trot off<br \/>\nshe&#8217;ll cluck to them.<\/p>\n<p>When she asks the horse to &#8220;get with it&#8221;<br \/>\nand kisses to them, she&#8217;ll kiss faster to<br \/>\nsay to the horse to pick up the speed.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the thing.<\/p>\n<p>She doesn&#8217;t want the horse to suddenly<br \/>\ntake off.<\/p>\n<p>She wants the horse to pick up speed in a<br \/>\ncontrolled, relaxed manner.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because they need to know not to get<br \/>\nreal excited.<\/p>\n<p>Why does that matter?<\/p>\n<p>Because a horse that gets real excited can<br \/>\nbe a horse that&#8217;s hard to keep relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>An unrelaxed horse can be a dangerous<br \/>\nhorse.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, if you have the horse pickin&#8217; up<br \/>\nspeed in a relaxed way then he&#8217;s<br \/>\nlistening to you.<\/p>\n<p>Listening to you is one of the most important<br \/>\nthings you can get from a horse.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s something you might try.<\/p>\n<p>Get on your horse and see how his gaits change.<\/p>\n<p>Are they smooth and relaxed?<\/p>\n<p>Or are they sudden and a little dangerous?<\/p>\n<p>If you need to fix it and you feel uncomfortable<br \/>\ndoing it from the saddle, start from the ground.<\/p>\n<p>So get in the round pen and ask for gait changes.<\/p>\n<p>If, for example, he suddenly speeds up, then<br \/>\nget in front of him slightly to discourage that.<\/p>\n<p>When you see him settling down, get back<br \/>\nout of his way and let him go.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t let him speed up more on his<br \/>\nown.<\/p>\n<p>He must look to YOU for permission.<\/p>\n<p>You always want him looking to you for permission.<\/p>\n<p>This may take a few times for you to get good<br \/>\nat doing with your horse, but it&#8217;s well worth<br \/>\nthe effort.<\/p>\n<p>This is the kind of practical, proven, and<br \/>\ngood info Diana shows in her 30 Day&#8217;s training DVD.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see more about it, click the following;<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-dianaq.html<\/p>\n<p>If you have a horse that needs tuned up or<br \/>\nhas a problem, this DVD is a great tool because<br \/>\nyou often have to start a horse from the<br \/>\nbeginning to fix a problem.<\/p>\n<p>And Diana&#8217;s info shows how.<\/p>\n<p>Oh&#8230;one more thing.<\/p>\n<p>That parachuter Joan Murray I told you<br \/>\nabout at the beginning of this email?<\/p>\n<p>She went back to sky diving two years later.<\/p>\n<p>She was incredibly lucky.<\/p>\n<p>As a horse owner, you hopefully won&#8217;t<br \/>\nneed that kind of luck.<\/p>\n<p>The better trained your horse is, the<br \/>\nless luck you&#8217;re gonna need.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your horse is doing what he&#8217;s<br \/>\nsupposed to do!<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re not sure what all he&#8217;s<br \/>\nsupposed to do, then dig your heels in<br \/>\nand start learning.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t want to depend on luck.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a fool&#8217;s game.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-dianaq.html<\/p>\n<p>OK..\u00a0 that&#8217;s it for today.\u00a0 Work safely with your horses&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
