We Have Two Things In Common&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We have at least two things in common if you&#8217;re reading this.<\/p>\n<p>An interest in horses and the use of a computer.<\/p>\n<p>How you feel about either is probably somewhat dependent on how they are<br \/>\nacting!\u00a0 It&#8217;s entirely possible to enjoy both, only one of them, or be<br \/>\nquite frustrated with both&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had my share of computer problems over the years and was dealing<br \/>\nwith a problem the other day that kept showing up.<\/p>\n<p>So I called Jim, a good friend of mine.\u00a0 Jim&#8217;s one of those computer whiz<br \/>\nguys and he was describing what he does to fix slow, pokey\u00a0 computers for others.<\/p>\n<p>Seems like after a few months or lots of use, our computers start slooooowing<br \/>\ndown almost to a crawl.\u00a0 Windows open up slowly, applications are slow, etc.<\/p>\n<p>He was describing a lot of the common problems and reasons why.\u00a0 And then<br \/>\nstarted into this long description of how to fix most problems.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately I had to say &#8220;Whoooaa there,\u00a0 Geek Breath&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 Write it down!<\/p>\n<p>So he gave me some notes on some quick things you can do to speed up your<br \/>\ncomputer and make it run better.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing everyone reading this is using a computer (duh!) I thought<br \/>\nI&#8217;d share it with you.<\/p>\n<p>I got it all written down and created a quick web page with all the<br \/>\nhelpful things to do.\u00a0 Click the link below and see if it might be<br \/>\nhelpful to you:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.HorseTrainingResources.com\/PC.html\" title=\"Help With Your PC\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Help With Your PC<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ok &#8211; that&#8217;s a lot to absorb in one issue!<\/p>\n<p>Work with your horses (and your computers) &#8211; but do so safely with both!<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nHello Charlie,<\/p>\n<p>Just like to thank you for the opportunity to buy Professor Beery&#8217;s<br \/>\ntraining books. The information and his years of experience he has<br \/>\nput into it is invaluable and so easy to put into action. I have<br \/>\nbought a 6 year old gelding that was an ex-pacer,(disposition 2&amp;4)<br \/>\nand has lots of bad habits which include chewing wood, bucking,<br \/>\nbolting, shying\u00a0 and nipping. Basically he was dangerous to ride.<\/p>\n<p>After a month using Jesse&#8217;s methods I now have a horse that is easy<br \/>\nand pleasant to ride and is no longer dangerous and unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing\u00a0 that is great is you can make the training equipment<br \/>\nthat he mentions and describes so easily and cheaply. The only thing<br \/>\nI bought was a surcingle. I also have likely saved thousands of<br \/>\ndollars for training this horse myself instead of sending him<br \/>\nto a professional trainer.<\/p>\n<p>I certainly will not be returning\u00a0 this book, in fact, a wild<br \/>\nteam of horses could not drag it from me. As for those that<br \/>\nthink this book is outdated I can only laugh at them, ha ha ha.<br \/>\nI bet my horse will be trained before theirs.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for sending me e-mail tips and I thank you<br \/>\nonce again for this wonderful book.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n<p>Steve Riddle<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/beery.html \" title=\"Jesse Beery Horse Training Course\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jesse Beery Horse Training Course<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horses and Computers.\u00a0 Love and Frustration.\u00a0 1.
