Rydberg,<br \/>\nhe was working a horse for a client.<\/p>\n<p>The horse, like many a horse, wasn&#8217;t<br \/>\ndoing what the owner wanted.<\/p>\n<p>As J.J. rode the horse and explained<br \/>\nwhat was going on, he said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you run into problems,<br \/>\ngo back to the basics and<br \/>\nsoften up on the way you<br \/>\nride him.\u00a0 Forcing him will<br \/>\nmake it worse &#8211; it will not<br \/>\nsolve the problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now if you haven&#8217;t been in the horse world<br \/>\nlong enough, you&#8217;d tend to think that forcing<br \/>\nthat horse to do something is the answer.<\/p>\n<p>But, it&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because you are creating a battle you<br \/>\nsimply cannot and will not win.<\/p>\n<p>If you keep it up, your horse may get<br \/>\nmad.<\/p>\n<p>You may think &#8220;Yeah&#8230;but I&#8217;m the boss<br \/>\nand I&#8217;ll show him&#8230;!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The problem with that is&#8230;he&#8217;ll show<br \/>\nyou.<\/p>\n<p>A mad horse is one you gotta back off from.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure needs to come WAY off.<\/p>\n<p>One of my most favorite quotes made by<br \/>\na horseman comes from J.J.\u00a0 and he says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By they the time your horse is mad,<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re mad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html<\/p>\n<p>What a great way to gauge your own<br \/>\nthoughts while working with the horse.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re mad&#8230;it&#8217;s time to back off<br \/>\nbecause it&#8217;s likely your horse is mad too.<\/p>\n<p>And if your horse is mad&#8230;you ain&#8217;t<br \/>\ngonna win.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. says the solution is this:<br \/>\n&#8220;Think to yourself you don&#8217;t need to fight him.<br \/>\nSlow things back down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That is perhaps one of the most valuable pieces<br \/>\nof information you will learn in dealing with horses.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. reveals lots of great information<br \/>\nand if you want to know more of what he<br \/>\nsays, click the following:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html<\/p>\n<p>You know, if you haven&#8217;t seen J.J.&#8217;s<br \/>\nDVD, you really should.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s as cowboy as they come and he&#8217;s<br \/>\ndone this for so long, you&#8217;d be shocked what<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ll learn.<\/p>\n<p>When J.J. started showing horses,<br \/>\nhe was only 12 years old.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, in rodeo he turned pro in<br \/>\n1969 until 1984.\u00a0 Then he went back to<br \/>\ntraining horses.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m not afraid to say it&#8230;He&#8217;s probably<br \/>\nforgot more than I&#8217;ve learned or will learn.<\/p>\n<p>I have no doubt that you can learn from his<br \/>\nextensive knowledge as I have:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html<\/p>\n<p>Good, experienced trainers who are worth their<br \/>\nsalt are hard to find.\u00a0 An the ones that can<br \/>\neffectively share their expertise are even<br \/>\nharder to find.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today.<\/p>\n<p>Go out and work with your horses&#8230;but please do it safely.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
