(even if you ARE a pro)<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because maybe you&#8217;re refining your<br \/>\ntechnique.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, horse time is slow.<\/p>\n<p>Getting a horse to do something is<br \/>\nnot a fast process.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s faster than other times,<br \/>\nbut it&#8217;s not normally a fast process.<\/p>\n<p>The next thing to note is Kenny&#8217;s comment<br \/>\nabout the horse being real hungry to learn<br \/>\nin the next 30-45 days.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, they try real hard to<br \/>\nmake you happy.<\/p>\n<p>This is important to know because horses<br \/>\ngenerally just try to get along.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re not out to pick a fight or refuse<br \/>\nwhat you ask (unless someone with the wrong<br \/>\nattitude and hands got a hold of him before you did.)<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re trying desperately to figure out what<br \/>\nyou want and after those first 8-10 rides you&#8217;ll<br \/>\nsee a definite improvement of learning and<br \/>\nwillingness to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Just be careful not to teach too much.<\/p>\n<p>Look for places to quit.<\/p>\n<p>Fix what needs fixed and if something<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t need fixed, then there&#8217;s no need<br \/>\nto mess with it.<\/p>\n<p>The old saying: &#8220;If it ain&#8217;t broke,<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t break it&#8221; applies here.<\/p>\n<p>These wise words (and gobs more) come<br \/>\nfrom Kenny Scott.<br \/>\nIf you want to read more about him,<br \/>\nclick on the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One other thing I want to point out that Kenny mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>When you work with your horse be &#8220;REAL&#8221;<br \/>\ncareful to distinguish between him not<br \/>\nunderstanding what you want vs. bad behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Not understanding requires patience and<br \/>\nfiguring out a way for him to &#8220;get it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bad behavior is punishable &#8211; but the punishment<br \/>\ncan NOT outweigh the crime.<\/p>\n<p>Be fair to the horse.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure, then ask yourself<br \/>\nthese questions.<\/p>\n<p>1. \u00a0Did he understand- did I explain<br \/>\nso he could understand?<\/p>\n<p>2. \u00a0Was I in his way?<\/p>\n<p>Veddy, veddy important.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-kennyscott.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>=======================================================<\/p>\n<p><strong> 2.
