especially those<br \/>\nwho have only been around horses for a<br \/>\nfew months or perhaps a couple years.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of bad habits horses have<br \/>\nthat their owners simply do nothing about.<\/p>\n<p>It can put you in real danger and simply<br \/>\nruin your horse experience and relationship<br \/>\nbecause you no longer enjoy your horses,<br \/>\nyou are fearful, and in reality&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;your horse dream world is fading&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am amazed at how many letters I get and<br \/>\nfolks I meet that don&#8217;t know how to handle<br \/>\nsituations like kicking, rearing, balking,<br \/>\ndisrespectful, crowding your space, and a<br \/>\nlot, lot more!<\/p>\n<p>Why would anyone let their horse get away<br \/>\nwith these kinds of issues and not take<br \/>\ncare of them IMMEDIATELY??<\/p>\n<p>Seriously &#8211; are you letting your horse<br \/>\nbuck, run off with you, continually spook,<br \/>\nor get away with other bad habits?<\/p>\n<p>WHY?<\/p>\n<p>I have some strong opinions and suspect<br \/>\nlots of things are going on.<\/p>\n<p>One is obvious &#8211; lack of understanding how<br \/>\nto correct these issues or how a horse<br \/>\nsees you as a leader. \u00a0You may be your<br \/>\nown worst enemy.<\/p>\n<p>I even know of some weak-knee&#8217;d trainers<br \/>\nwho won&#8217;t take on some of these issues<br \/>\nbecause of a few reasons:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; they find it too difficult (yeah, it&#8217;s true)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; they know the owners won&#8217;t carry through<br \/>\nonce the horse is fixed because they<br \/>\ntreat their horses like puppies<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; many horse owners don&#8217;t understand that<br \/>\nyou have to be firm and persistent with<br \/>\na horse and they will be criticized for<br \/>\nthe training methods they use<\/p>\n<p>Yeah &#8211; I said it.<\/p>\n<p>Warning:<br \/>\nMy next few comments will probably make<br \/>\nsome of you mad at me. \u00a0You might think<br \/>\nI&#8217;m too harsh because you think every<br \/>\nhorse problem can be cured with treats.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ll tell ya folks, horses are not<br \/>\npuppy dogs and they don&#8217;t learn like<br \/>\nhumans or have human emotions, either.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry to bust your bubble but it&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t agree with that then perhaps<br \/>\nyou should stop reading and unsubscribe.<\/p>\n<p>Many problems in the horse training and<br \/>\nhandling world can&#8217;t be fixed with sweet<br \/>\ntalk, treats and &#8220;hoping&#8221; the horse will<br \/>\nhave a change of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Many things take hard, persistent work<br \/>\nand a complete understanding of how to<br \/>\nfix problems through knowing how a horse learns.<\/p>\n<p>You MUST understand the true nature of the horse.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t bribe a horse with treats and<br \/>\nexpect him to stop kicking or running off<br \/>\nwhile you&#8217;re on his back. \u00a0Sorry&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>What does work?<\/p>\n<p>Glad you asked&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at Diana Quintana&#8217;s horse training<br \/>\nDVD. \u00a0She&#8217;s a master at this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/\/quintanatraining\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/\/quintanatraining\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then look at Brad Meyers and his &#8220;Little Things&#8221;
