(even if you ARE a pro)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Because maybe you&#8217;re refining your<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 technique.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Not only that, horse time is slow.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Getting a horse to do something is<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 not a fast process.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Sometimes it&#8217;s faster than other times,<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 but it&#8217;s not normally a fast process.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 The next thing to note is Kenny&#8217;s comment<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 about the horse being real hungry to learn<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 in the next 30-45 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Not only that, they try real hard to<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 make you happy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 This is important to know because horses<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 generally just try to get along.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 They&#8217;re not out to pick a fight or refuse<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 what you ask (unless someone with the wrong<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 attitude and hands got a hold of him before you did.)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 They&#8217;re trying desperately to figure out what<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 you want and after those first 8-10 rides you&#8217;ll<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 see a definite improvement of learning and<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 willingness to learn.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Just be careful not to teach too much.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Look for places to quit.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Fix what needs fixed and if something<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 doesn&#8217;t need fixed, then there&#8217;s no need<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 to mess with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 The old saying: &#8220;If it ain&#8217;t broke, don&#8217;t<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 break it&#8221; applies here.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 These wise words (and gobs more) come<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 from Kenny Scott.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 If you want to read more about him,<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 click on the following:<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html\">http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html<\/a><br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 One other thing I want to point out that Kenny mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 When you work with your horse be &#8220;REAL&#8221;<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 careful to distinguish between him not<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 understanding what you want vs. bad behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Not understanding requires patience and<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 figuring out a way for him to &#8220;get it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 Bad behavior is punishable &#8211;
