Rydberg said this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re mad, your<br \/>\nhorse is already mad!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s the big deal?<\/p>\n<p>Heck, he&#8217;s a horse.\u00a0 If he&#8217;s mad then by<br \/>\ngolly he&#8217;s just gotta get over it cuz he&#8217;s<br \/>\ngonna do what I say, right?<\/p>\n<p>Hold on Buckwheat.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another valuable tip J.J. reveals.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. said, &#8220;You could get a horse so mad that<br \/>\nyou could whip him and he wouldn&#8217;t care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now THAT&#8217;s mad!<\/p>\n<p>Of course J.J. wouldn&#8217;t actually whip a<br \/>\nhorse.\u00a0 He&#8217;s merely demonstrating how important<br \/>\nit is to keep them in a good frame of mind.<\/p>\n<p>If you think about it, that&#8217;s not much<br \/>\ndifferent than you and I.<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t do much when we&#8217;re mad.\u00a0 We&#8217;re<br \/>\nmad and we don&#8217;t care about much but bein&#8217; mad.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty hard to do anything else.<\/p>\n<p>So teaching a horse something when you&#8217;ve<br \/>\nmade him mad is not gonna work.<\/p>\n<p>How do you know if you made him mad?<\/p>\n<p>As I said a minute ago, if you&#8217;re mad<br \/>\nthen your horse is already mad.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with that is you already<br \/>\nwent too far.<\/p>\n<p>You should&#8217;ve backed off before this happened<br \/>\nbecause now you have a battle on your hands.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s a battle you don&#8217;t wanna take on.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, horses are friendly creatures.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re easy to teach various things<br \/>\nbut you can inadvertently set out to teach<br \/>\nthem to be mean.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t want a horse that argues.\u00a0 You want<br \/>\none that willingly does or tries what you ask.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you tell your horse is on<br \/>\nhis way to getting mad?<\/p>\n<p>There are various signs.<\/p>\n<p>Tail swishing is a sign.<\/p>\n<p>A horse swishing his tail is kinda like a kid<br \/>\ngetting mad, making a face, and sort of growling.<\/p>\n<p>But be careful to take tail swishing in<br \/>\nthe right context.<\/p>\n<p>After all, it could be fly he&#8217;s trying to shoo.<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re riding him and trying to<br \/>\nget him doing something and it&#8217;s not working out<br \/>\nand he&#8217;s not getting what you want,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;you might hear<br \/>\nhis tail swish&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you do, there&#8217;s a sign.<br \/>\nDoes that mean you stop doing what<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re doing right there?<\/p>\n<p>Not necessarily.<\/p>\n<p>One tail swish doth not a mad horse make.<\/p>\n<p>That tail swish is your warning signal.<\/p>\n<p>It merely says that he got a little put<br \/>\nout at that moment.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep pushing him to do what<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re after but now your awareness kicks<br \/>\nin a little and you tell yourself to be<br \/>\ncareful about pushing and pushing and pushing.<\/p>\n<p>The secret is this.<\/p>\n<p>If after a few more tries you don&#8217;t<br \/>\nget what you want, then back off totally.<\/p>\n<p>Ride him around and guide him and let him<br \/>\nhave his face.<\/p>\n<p>This is called &#8220;talkin&#8217; him out of bein&#8217;<br \/>\nmad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s one of the many gems J.J. teaches<br \/>\nhis students.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. has lots of good info if you&#8217;re<br \/>\ngonna show your horse anything.\u00a0 To see<br \/>\nmore about J.J., click the following:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an extra tip.<\/p>\n<p>While talking your horse out of bein&#8217;<br \/>\nmad, replay in your mind what happened with you<br \/>\nand the horse.<\/p>\n<p>Why wasn&#8217;t he doing what you wanted?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be surprised to find it&#8217;s likely<br \/>\nbecause he didn&#8217;t understand what you wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Rarely is it because he won&#8217;t do it.<\/p>\n<p>As I said a minute ago, horses are friendly,<br \/>\ntractable animals.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re typically willing to do what you<br \/>\nwant&#8230;as long as they understand what to do.<\/p>\n<p>So the trick is this.<\/p>\n<p>Ask them in a way they&#8217;ll understand what<br \/>\nyou want because, perhaps, you weren&#8217;t explaining<br \/>\nin a way they could understand.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html<\/p>\n<p>And there you have it&#8230;stay safe around your horses!<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re new to horse training and need help<br \/>\nfixing all those troublesome bad habits your horse<br \/>\nhas then check out the most respected course that<br \/>\nthe most respected horse trainer in history put<br \/>\ntogether years ago.<\/p>\n<p>His methods have been proven by thousands of<br \/>\nhorse owners and there&#8217;s no reason they won&#8217;t<br \/>\nwork for you, too!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not fun handle a horse who won&#8217;t behave or<br \/>\ndo what you want.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s not safe, either&#8230;.<br \/>\nthousands get hurt and many get killed<br \/>\nriding horses that get out of control each year.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out for yourself:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/beery.html<\/p>\n<p>You can get the course as a printed book, PDF downloads,<br \/>\non PDF on CD and as MP3 Audio books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Horse Training and SUPERWEEDS?&#8221;
