Horses, Fishes and Anticipating Techniques<\/p>\n<p>Did you know fish have no&#8230; &#8220;Salivary Glands&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Makes sense, really.<\/p>\n<p>After all, they&#8217;re in water all the<br \/>\ntime so why would they need salivary glands.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just something they don&#8217;t need.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what your horse needs?<\/p>\n<p>Anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>He needs you to anticipate.<\/p>\n<p>Anticipate what?<\/p>\n<p>Well, say you&#8217;re on your 2nd ride<br \/>\non a green horse.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re in the round pen.<\/p>\n<p>As you go around, your horse always<br \/>\nslows down at a certain spot.<\/p>\n<p>He may even stop.<\/p>\n<p>So next time you approach that spot<br \/>\nthen you need to boot him through it.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, before he starts to think &#8220;slow<br \/>\ndown&#8221; then you downshift and kick &#8217;em into gear.<\/p>\n<p>This should happen before he starts<br \/>\nthinking about slowing down or stopping.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because you will have captured his<br \/>\nattention and got him thinking &#8220;Move!&#8221;<br \/>\ninstead &#8220;ho hum&#8230;think I&#8217;ll slow down here&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s another situation your<br \/>\nanticipating can come handy.<\/p>\n<p>Say you&#8217;re out ridin&#8217; in the arena.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re getting your horse to trot<br \/>\nand teaching him to tuck his chin.<\/p>\n<p>This will round his back and eventually<br \/>\nget him to trot in a way that<br \/>\nyou could ride it all day instead of<br \/>\nfeelin&#8217; beat up after trottin&#8217; for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if your horse isn&#8217;t used to<br \/>\nthis he won&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re applying pressure and not<br \/>\nletting him have his chin&#8230;.at least at first.<\/p>\n<p>If you think about it from the horse&#8217;s<br \/>\npoint of view, it&#8217;s a little scary, frustrating,<br \/>\nand who knows what else.<\/p>\n<p>That so, wouldn&#8217;t you think after a<br \/>\nwhile the horse will start to get&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Upset!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s the trick.<\/p>\n<p>Before your horse gets mad about it,<br \/>\nquit askin&#8217; him to do it.<\/p>\n<p>What?!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>He may just be a horse but he&#8217;s got<br \/>\nemotions.  And if you make him mad you&#8217;re<br \/>\ngonna have a hard time with him.<\/p>\n<p>So you must anticipate him getting<br \/>\nmad before he does.<\/p>\n<p>How do you do that?<\/p>\n<p>First, be very aware of your horse&#8217;s<br \/>\nemotional state.<\/p>\n<p>Every good trainer will tell you<br \/>\nthat.<\/p>\n<p>Second, look for the little signs<br \/>\nthat occur before the big ones do.<\/p>\n<p>The little signs could be a tail<br \/>\nswish.<\/p>\n<p>A head bobbing up and down a little.<\/p>\n<p>And so on.<\/p>\n<p>If you see the small signs, then it&#8217;s<br \/>\ntime to back off.<\/p>\n<p>Ride him around on a loose rein.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t pull and tug on him.<\/p>\n<p>Let him feel free.<\/p>\n<p>As J.J. Rydberg would say, &#8220;Talk him<br \/>\nout of bein&#8217; mad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One way to do that, as I just said, is<br \/>\nride him around and don&#8217;t ask much from him.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, go back to things he knows how<br \/>\nto do and does well.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. says it&#8217;s like burning bacon.<\/p>\n<p>When you see the smoke, turn down the<br \/>\nheat before you burn it.<\/p>\n<p>With horses, the smoke is the signs he&#8217;s<br \/>\ngettin&#8217; mad.  Turning down the heat means you<br \/>\nquit askin&#8217; him and then do something else.<\/p>\n<p>J.J.&#8217;s got some great info &#8211; and if you<br \/>\nwant to know more about it, click on the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html\" title=\"J.J.
