Sharks and Horses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that sharks can&#8217;t<br \/>\nswim backwards?<\/p>\n<p>Makes sense, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose there&#8217;s no need to.<\/p>\n<p>Horses, on the other hand, can move<br \/>\nabout any direction you want &#8217;em too. (They<br \/>\ncan even swim&#8230;but probably not backwards)<\/p>\n<p>How do you get your horse to move<br \/>\nany direction you want?<\/p>\n<p>By first having the patience to<br \/>\nteach him.<\/p>\n<p>Second, by having an idea of &#8220;how&#8221; to<br \/>\nteach him.<\/p>\n<p>Third, and very importantly, making<br \/>\nsure the horse knows the right answer.<\/p>\n<p>What do I mean?<\/p>\n<p>This.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Braddy, a favorite here, says<br \/>\nyou have to get the right answer from your horse.<\/p>\n<p>What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>It means you keep asking your horse<br \/>\nto do something&#8230;and you don&#8217;t stop asking<br \/>\nuntil he does it.<\/p>\n<p>The concept underneath all this is<br \/>\nthe all-famous pressure and release.<\/p>\n<p>Your horse is motivated by pressure.<br \/>\nThe pressure types are verbal, mental, and<br \/>\nphysical.<\/p>\n<p>When you want your horse to move, you<br \/>\napply pressure.<\/p>\n<p>That pressure causes the move.<\/p>\n<p>When you get the move, stop the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Simple, right?<\/p>\n<p>Yes&#8230;and no.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d be shocked how people can mess<br \/>\nthis up.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a process to it. And if you follow<br \/>\nthe &#8220;rules&#8221; you&#8217;ll do just fine.<\/p>\n<p>So here are the rules.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you want your horse to back up.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s say you have a stick and you&#8217;re<br \/>\ngoing to push it into his chest to help teach him<br \/>\nto back.<\/p>\n<p>This is the pressure being caused.<\/p>\n<p>The horse is supposed to move off it.<\/p>\n<p>But he may not at first.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because he doesn&#8217;t know what it means.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, he may be a little dull &#8211; some<br \/>\nhorses will move off pressure faster than others.<\/p>\n<p>So as you ask your horse to back by pushing<br \/>\na stick into his chest, you start off with very<br \/>\nlight pressure from the stick.<\/p>\n<p>If you go heavy pressure, the horse learns<br \/>\nto move off heavy pressure.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t want that.<\/p>\n<p>You want your horse to move off light<br \/>\npressure.<\/p>\n<p>Say the pressure goes from 1 (the lightest)<br \/>\nto 10 &#8211; the heaviest.<\/p>\n<p>Start out with a 1.<\/p>\n<p>So as you do this, ask yourself what you<br \/>\nwant your horse to do.<\/p>\n<p>What is the goal.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to move one foot back.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s simple.\u00a0 It&#8217;s easy.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s<br \/>\nnot much to ask.<\/p>\n<p>However, you may find the horse can barely<br \/>\ndo that&#8230;if at all.<\/p>\n<p>In that instance, all you may get that day<br \/>\nis just a &#8220;thought&#8221; of doing it.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p>You may have to accept that.<\/p>\n<p>Is that bad?<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just not as fast as you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, who said you had to get<br \/>\nthis done&#8230;TODAY!?!!<\/p>\n<p>With horses, there is no time constraints.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re up against a time constraint, you&#8217;re<br \/>\ngonna blow it.<\/p>\n<p>You do these things at the horse&#8217;s pace.<\/p>\n<p>Ok?<\/p>\n<p>Ok.<\/p>\n<p>Now suppose you apply pressure and the horse<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t move back.<\/p>\n<p>No problem.<\/p>\n<p>Increase the pressure slightly.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing happens, increase it slightly more.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it.<\/p>\n<p>Hold it&#8230;wait a minute&#8230;ahhhh&#8230;there he<br \/>\ngoes.<\/p>\n<p>He moved off the stick.<\/p>\n<p>Now there are two things I want you to do<br \/>\nthe second he moves off the stick.<\/p>\n<p>What are they?<\/p>\n<p>First, don&#8217;t keep applying the pressure as<br \/>\nhe moves.\u00a0 Your stick should not move once the horse<br \/>\nmoves off from it.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a huge thing because if you keep applying<br \/>\nthe stick pressure, he&#8217;ll never know what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Next, after he moves away just don&#8217;t do anything.<\/p>\n<p>Just let him soak it in for a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t talk to him.<\/p>\n<p>Do NOT pet him.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Nada!<\/p>\n<p>Resist all temptation to interrupt his thinking<br \/>\nat that moment.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because he&#8217;s gonna mull over in his mind what<br \/>\nhe did to get that pressure to stop.<\/p>\n<p>So let him and don&#8217;t interrupt him.<\/p>\n<p>All of this can be summed up in four words.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s called&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Getting the right answer&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s what Linda Braddy is dang good at doing<br \/>\nand does a fantastic job at teaching it in her DVD.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get good at this, I urge you<br \/>\nto watch Linda&#8217;s information, you&#8217;ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, you&#8217;ll see you can do this stuff just<br \/>\nas good as her and the rest of us.<\/p>\n<p>To see more about Linda, click the following:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-brady.html<\/p>\n<p>Just remember to have it clear in your mind<br \/>\nwhat you want from your horse.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to give the proper signals and body<br \/>\nlanguage to make it clear what you want.<\/p>\n<p>It instills confidence and trust in your<br \/>\nhorse &#8211; and Linda will show you how it all comes<br \/>\ntogether.<\/p>\n<p>If you already own the DVD, I urge you to<br \/>\nwatch it again cuz I&#8217;ll bet the farm you pick up<br \/>\nseveral things you missed the first time that&#8217;ll<br \/>\nreally help you out.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s that link one more time:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-brady.html<\/p>\n<p>********************************************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.
