is slang for&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My bladder is about to burst!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Imagine!\u00a0 The industry was ready to<br \/>\nhang this man because of a miscommunication.<\/p>\n<p>So that got me thinking about<br \/>\nmis-communication with horses.<\/p>\n<p>One type of &#8216;mis-communication&#8217; is<br \/>\nnaming a horse that sounds much like a command.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you call your horse<br \/>\n&#8216;Joe&#8217; (and I&#8217;ve known some horses named that)<br \/>\nit&#8217;s so similar to &#8216;whoa&#8217;.\u00a0\u00a0 Every time the<br \/>\nhorse&#8217;s name is said, he will be &#8216;whoa-ing&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the rider out on the trail and<br \/>\nhe&#8217;s feelin&#8217; good about his horse and he<br \/>\npets him and says &#8216;Good boy Joe&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The horse hears the &#8216; O &#8216; sound and<br \/>\nassumes &#8216;whoa&#8217; &#8211; so he stops.\u00a0 Little<br \/>\nwonder the horse was confused.<\/p>\n<p>Commands can confuse too.\u00a0 Every<br \/>\nverbal command should sound different<br \/>\nfrom the other.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you&#8217;re riding and you<br \/>\nwant your horse to slow down, I wouldn&#8217;t<br \/>\nchoose the word &#8216;slow&#8217; because it sounds<br \/>\nso much like &#8216;whoa&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Choose a different one like &#8216;easy&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Miscommunication happens between horse<br \/>\nand rider with the reins too&#8230;it&#8217;s not just verbal.<\/p>\n<p>I know of horses who&#8217;s mouths were punished<br \/>\nwhile being ridden&#8230;and when the horse stopped<br \/>\nhis mouth wasn&#8217;t being punished.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the horse knew that to move meant pain in<br \/>\nthe mouth.\u00a0 So being in the horse&#8217;s shoes why<br \/>\nwould you move if you&#8217;re being hurt?\u00a0 It&#8217;s better<br \/>\nand more pleasant to stay put.<\/p>\n<p>So the lesson of the day is this:<br \/>\nWe are like the passenger on the plane.<br \/>\nWe must communicate clearly and intently<br \/>\nso we don&#8217;t get in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>The horse is like the airline attendant &#8211;<br \/>\nshe interpreted the passenger&#8217;s comment as<br \/>\nshe understood it.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, horses interpret in the way<br \/>\nthey know how.\u00a0 So it&#8217;s up to us, the rider<br \/>\nand trainer, to make sure communication is clear &#8211;<br \/>\nor just like the passenger&#8230;we can get into<br \/>\nunnecessary trouble.<\/p>\n<p>The best example of communication I can think of<br \/>\nis what Linda Braddy reveals.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about it at:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-brady.html<\/p>\n<p>There are mountains of ways to communicate with horses.<\/p>\n<p>Often, people are shocked to discover that what they<br \/>\nthink they&#8217;re communicating to their horse creates t<br \/>\nhe exact opposite reaction they want from their horse.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not getting what you want from your horse,<br \/>\nit could be because you&#8217;re not communicating the<br \/>\nright thing to your horse.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to communicate the &#8220;right answer&#8221;<br \/>\nto your horse so he knows EXACTLY what you want.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-brady.html<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for this issue&#8230;.\u00a0 stay safe out there.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
