I&#8217;ve been riding one for 9 months  now, and the other one is coming home next week.\u00a0Of course even with  training\u00a0I work hard to keep my horses moving forward, and I don&#8217;t give  an inch in crowding, or misbehaving &#8211; no matter how tired or busy I am  because I know they&#8217;ll take it and more.\u00a0And even though we are trained,  I&#8217;m gonna order some DVDs cuz\u00a0I&#8217;ll never be done learning!\u00a0 For all  those that unsubscribed cuz the truth hurts, you maybe will save\u00a0a  couple human and horse lives.

Then I began to realize that people need to do what I have done and read them  all and see as much as you can with how others do it. <strong>When I found your site a  few years ago and began getting your daily tips I quickly shared it with others  because you cover a broad range of resources, all with the same message.

I always refuse to do that and insist that if they want their horse fixed  they must first fix themselves, participate and learn. They need to learn how to  handle a horse, understand them and realize that they cause the response they  get.

Although you do have those  who do not want to face the fact  that\u00a0 more times than not it is the rider\/owner with the problem and  not always the horse. People need to realize that bad behavior is simply  something that someone has allowed the horse to get away with time and  time again until a bad  habit has taken hold but can be corrected with patience,time, and yes a  little hard work and sweat.\u00a0 I will also be ordering the Jesse Berry  Course in the next few days, I use methods from the book that I had  years ago\u00a0 and gave to a friend who needed help , and yes they do work  if people would take the time not only to study and apply but also ask  someone if there is something they do not understand.
