mad at the horse for<br \/>\nnot doin&#8217; what he&#8217;s supposed to do and<br \/>\nit&#8217;s because he doesn&#8217;t feel right.<\/p>\n<p>Sam goes on to say that if your horse&#8217;s<br \/>\nperformance drops off, then don&#8217;t assume<br \/>\na bad attitude.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>It may be they need some down time. \u00a0It could<br \/>\nbe the horse is just doing too much of what<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re asking.<\/p>\n<p>Heck, in anything, too much is too much.<\/p>\n<p>Even with humans.<\/p>\n<p>Sam recommends if your horse is burned<br \/>\nout from training, then do a couple days<br \/>\nof no-stress riding to wherever.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean?<\/p>\n<p>It just means you ride around and basically<br \/>\nguide your horse.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t ask him to do much.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a lot like us humans getting away<br \/>\nfor the weekend because life is too<br \/>\ndemanding and you need to do something different.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I know some will disagree with<br \/>\nthis. \u00a0And that&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>But if the horse is happy, he does better.<br \/>\nIf he does better, so will you.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s Sam&#8217;s take on it and it&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to more of Sam&#8217;s info,<br \/>\nyou can read more by clicking here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another important thing Sam preaches that you<br \/>\nshould watch out for is being aware of the<br \/>\nhorse&#8217;s progress deteriorating.<\/p>\n<p>How can you tell if it is?<\/p>\n<p>One, things they&#8217;ve done well<br \/>\nwill start to get worse.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a biggee.<\/p>\n<p>Next, their body may be uptight.<\/p>\n<p>Third, their tail may swish a lot.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s easy to spot.<\/p>\n<p>And a real big sign is this.<\/p>\n<p>The horse was doing something well and<br \/>\nyou keep asking and asking and it just gets worse.<\/p>\n<p>If that happens&#8230;back off.<\/p>\n<p>Do what I said a minute ago and that is just<br \/>\nride him around to wherever and guide him.<\/p>\n<p>Ask very little of him.<\/p>\n<p>In human terms, he just may need to<br \/>\ndecompress.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>OK my friend, \u00a0that&#8217;s it for today. \u00a0Please stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
