What Horses, Billionaires, And Musicians All Have In Common<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Andy Curry discussing consistency&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Ever watched a horse that seemed to<br \/>\ndo things effortlessly?<\/p>\n<p>To the uninitiated, it appears the<br \/>\nhorse is naturally gifted at what he&#8217;s doing.<\/p>\n<p>Like one day he just started doing it<br \/>\nfor no reason.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have to tell you that that&#8217;s<br \/>\nnot how it &#8216;really&#8217; is.<\/p>\n<p>The formula a good trainer follows<br \/>\nfor a successful horse is time and consistency.<\/p>\n<p>There are other parts to the formula<br \/>\nas well, but these are definitely enormously important.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just horses that profit<br \/>\nfrom that formula.<\/p>\n<p>Business people do, too.<\/p>\n<p>The famous billionaire Donald Trump<br \/>\nbecame rich by the same formula.\u00a0 He used time to his<br \/>\nadvantage and was consistent in what he did to get where he is.<\/p>\n<p>Musicians use the formula.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a guitarist myself.\u00a0 Been one for<br \/>\n23+ years.<\/p>\n<p>I play about every other day.\u00a0 When there&#8217;s a lick<br \/>\nI want to learn, I have to play it over and<br \/>\nover and over and over.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because I want to burn the memory of it into my fingers.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s called muscle memory.<\/p>\n<p>After I&#8217;ve practiced it so many times, I can literally<br \/>\nhave a conversation with someone while I play it<br \/>\nbecause my fingers simply do it without me having to think about it.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, horses gotta practice to get good.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Burrell, one of the favorites, says this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It takes 300-400 repetitions for a horse<br \/>\nto learn a cue.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Sam also says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It takes 3,000 to 4,000 repetitions to<br \/>\nget &#8216;good&#8217; at that cue.&#8217; (Don&#8217;t you<br \/>\nwonder who sat there counted that?!)<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s think about that for a second.<\/p>\n<p>Sam said it takes 300 to 400 repetitions<br \/>\nfor a horse to learn a cue.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to take from that is this.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever wondered to yourself, &#8216;Why is this<br \/>\ndang horse not doin&#8217; what I want?&#8217;, and it&#8217;s<br \/>\nnew to him, &#8230; that&#8217;s likely why.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, it takes time to introduce something new.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not much different for us humans either.<br \/>\nI can tell you from a musician&#8217;s perspective, to<br \/>\nlearn a new song or a lick from a song takes a while.<\/p>\n<p>Then to get really good at it takes a LOT of repetition.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, we as horse owners want our horses to be good at<br \/>\nsomething overnight.<\/p>\n<p>T&#8217;ain&#8217;t gonna happen.<\/p>\n<p>And even though the formula of time and consistency is<br \/>\nnow known, you might also want to know how to teach<br \/>\nyour horse something.<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned Sam Burrell a minute ago.\u00a0 His video (DVD)<br \/>\nis called &#8216;How To Install An Operating System In Your Horse (And Yourself)&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve had riding troubles with your horse I&#8217;d<br \/>\njust about bet the farm this will solve your troubles.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because Sam flat out shows you how to<br \/>\ncommunicate with your horse in a way that your horse gets it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html \" title=\"Sam Burrell Training DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sam Burrell Training DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>He reveals exercises to do with your horse so<br \/>\nhe continues to &#8216;get it&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, like few trainers do, he reveals the kinds<br \/>\nof things that can (and do) go wrong teaching your<br \/>\nhorse this system &#8211; then he shows you how to correct it.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty cool if you ask me.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as Sam points out, you can&#8217;t just go mess<br \/>\nwith your horse once a week and expect results.<\/p>\n<p>Like us musicians, we gotta practice to get good.<\/p>\n<p>So do horses (and their riders).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to check out Sam&#8217;s video (DVD), go to:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html \" title=\"Sam Burrell Training DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sam Burrell Training DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>********************<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.
