Get Your Copy of the NEW BOOK &#8220;Horse Training Wisdom&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>==========================================================<\/p>\n<p>1. Training Lions or Horses \u2014 Which Is More Dangerous?<\/p>\n<p>[I pulled this article from the new book &#8220;Horse Training Wisdom&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>A while back one of our featured trainers, Paul Esh, was<br \/>\ntalking about various kinds of animal training. \u00a0Paul said<br \/>\nhe knew a man who was an animal trainer in a circus.<\/p>\n<p>One day when he and Paul were talking, the circus trainer<br \/>\nwas explaining training for lions, tigers, chimps, elephants,<br \/>\nand horses.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the animals he trained, care to guess which ones he<br \/>\nclaimed were most dangerous?<\/p>\n<p>If you said lions or tigers&#8230;you&#8217;d be wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The answer is horses.<br \/>\nStrange, huh?<\/p>\n<p>The circus trainer said the reason is because it&#8217;s easy<br \/>\nto be off your guard with horses. \u00a0You can get a horse<br \/>\nto be gentle, calm, and responsive but all of a sudden,<br \/>\nbefore you know it, you could be stamped on and trampled<br \/>\nlike a bug without warning.<\/p>\n<p>As you know, horses have lightning fast reflexes<\/p>\n<p>As Jim Rea (another one of our professional trainers)<br \/>\npoints out in his video, think of the fastest boxer you<br \/>\nknow and then imagine your horse&#8217;s reflexes 5 times<br \/>\nfaster than that.<\/p>\n<p>That, my friend, is dangerous if mishandled.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the circus trainer also said the reason lions and<br \/>\ntigers aren&#8217;t as dangerous is because you &#8220;NEVER&#8221; take<br \/>\nyour eyes off them and you are &#8220;ALWAYS&#8221; on your guard.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, they are very dangerous. But you&#8217;re on high alert constantly.<\/p>\n<p>With horses, it&#8217;s easy to slip into complacency.<\/p>\n<p>Now with that said, I&#8217;m sure you now understand the<br \/>\nimportance of keeping a horse in its own space.<\/p>\n<p>Never, ever, let a horse crowd into your space.<\/p>\n<p>You go into its space&#8230;but it DOES NOT come into yours!<\/p>\n<p>People ask me if it&#8217;s okay to invite the horse into their space.<br \/>\nI can live with that as long as safety is strictly observed.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, say you&#8217;re standing next to a small shed<br \/>\nwith the horse between you and the shed. \u00a0That&#8217;s not really<br \/>\na good place for you to be.<\/p>\n<p>What if the horse spooks at something? What if someone<br \/>\nunexpectedly walks out of the shed and spooks the horse?<br \/>\nThe horse will no doubt try to desperately get away from<br \/>\nthe shed. \u00a0And if you&#8217;re in the way&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ouch!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the best plan is to always have the horse in his<br \/>\nspace at all times. \u00a0Horses are big and unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>Like kids and dogs, horses should have manners.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully your horse has them or you are teaching him some.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re not&#8230;you need to be. Otherwise, you&#8217;re playing<br \/>\nwith dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re not teaching him because you don&#8217;t know what<br \/>\nto do, then I urge you to look at Paul Esh&#8217;s video (DVD)<br \/>\non teaching a horse to respect your space.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: Go to the following website address to read more<br \/>\nabout what Paul Esh can show you:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-paulesh.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-paulesh.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Your goal is to create a safe environment for you and<br \/>\nyour horse. Paul will show you how to do it. \u00a0More than<br \/>\nanything, remember not to get complacent. Always think<br \/>\nabout where to stand around your horse that&#8217;s safe.<\/p>\n<p>And, if he gets into your space, DO NOT ALLOW IT!<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the Paul Esh &#8220;Respect Your Space&#8221; DVD here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-paulesh.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-paulesh.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>=============================================================<\/p>\n<p>2.
