What would that horse be trained to do?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; What would it be able to do under your control?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; What would you want to do with your horse<br \/>\n(and where would you want to go with it)<br \/>\nif it did all the things you wanted it to do?<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a game&#8230;it is actually quite important<br \/>\nto know because it helps us focus on what we<br \/>\nwant from our horses &#8211; and why we got them in<br \/>\nthe first place!<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;d like you to answer one more question:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How would you feel if your horse performed<br \/>\nthe way you just described?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; What feelings or emotions would you<br \/>\nhave if you could do all those things<br \/>\nwith your horse?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If you could play a movie with you and<br \/>\nyour horse in it, what would it look like?<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a good sense of what you want to do<br \/>\nwith your horse now?\u00a0 If not, go back through<br \/>\nthose two main questions again.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what this is all about:<\/p>\n<p>You, along with millions of others out there, love<br \/>\nhorses, love to be around them and have some<br \/>\npretty serious ideas about what you desire to<br \/>\ndo with them.<\/p>\n<p>But many of us in our day-to-day grind<br \/>\nfrequently loose sight of why we even<br \/>\nhave them and what we dreamed of when we<br \/>\nfirst got them.<\/p>\n<p>You know, this email is received by a few<br \/>\nthousand horse lovers and there are both<br \/>\nreal greenhorns and real experts who will read this.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ll tell you this &#8211; we all want more from our<br \/>\nhorses and want to experience more with them.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s just occasional trail riding, taking<br \/>\nfirst place in the next show or training a horse<br \/>\nfor work on the ranch &#8211; we all want more.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you need to overcome a lot of frustration<br \/>\nor perhaps fear because you don&#8217;t have control<br \/>\nof your horse and you are concerned you&#8217;ll get<br \/>\nhurt&#8230;again.<\/p>\n<p>Know this:\u00a0 except in the rarest of cases, all<br \/>\nhorses can be trained and controlled.<\/p>\n<p>Unless your horse breed isn&#8217;t suited for the riding<br \/>\ndiscipline you want to use it for, there&#8217;s<br \/>\nprobably no reason why you can&#8217;t achieve your goal!<\/p>\n<p>Successful methods have been developed and used<br \/>\nfor years to fix any problem or train your horse<br \/>\nfor the purpose you want.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;gap&#8221; between where you are now and where<br \/>\nyou want to be is time and the application of<br \/>\nknowledge.\u00a0 That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What does that perfectly trained horse look like?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How would you feel if your horse performed like that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stay focused.\u00a0 Purpose to learn what it takes to<br \/>\nwork with your horse to achieve that goal.\u00a0 Take<br \/>\nit a step at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a truth we somtimes forget:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Training a horse also means training<br \/>\nthe trainer.\u00a0 You BOTH are learning<br \/>\nat the same time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Celebrate each little success and encourage<br \/>\neach right action your horse demonstrates as<br \/>\nhe learns to act on your command.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re both rewarded when that happens and<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re building on the trust and relationship<br \/>\neach time.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty soon you&#8217;ll be able to ask more and more<br \/>\nof your horse and he&#8217;ll respond.\u00a0 And you&#8217;ll<br \/>\nbe one step closer to that feeling of accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t loose that dream&#8230;work diligently towards<br \/>\nthe goal.\u00a0 Stay focused.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
