it up &#8211; but I&#8217;m not. \u00a0It&#8217;s a real law:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 In Idaho, it&#8217;s against the law to fish<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> \u00a0 for trout while sitting on the back of a giraffe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No&#8230;I&#8217;m not kidding.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m not tryin&#8217; to discredit folks in<br \/>\nIllinois and Idaho.<\/p>\n<p>These laws are likely old laws enacted<br \/>\nin the past that have been forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>But what about the laws in the horse\u00a0world?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>There are three kinds of laws in the\u00a0horse world:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One is the<strong> &#8220;Myth Laws&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Those are laws people think are true<br \/>\nbut they&#8217;re NOT.<\/p>\n<p>The next is<strong> &#8220;Actual Laws&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Those are the absolutes in the horse world.<\/p>\n<p>The thrid is <strong>&#8220;Gray Laws&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are laws that depend on the situation<br \/>\nand the horses themselves.<\/p>\n<p>They may or not be true&#8230;depending on<br \/>\nthe situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 So let&#8217;s take &#8220;Myth Laws&#8221; first.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a debate on the most common<br \/>\nmistake people make regarding horses &#8211; but it<br \/>\nseems to be this one.<\/p>\n<p>A horse is very much like a dog.<\/p>\n<p>People want to treat their horse like<br \/>\nthey do their dog but there are so many dangers<br \/>\ndoing that&#8230;I get real upset when I see it<br \/>\nhappening.<\/p>\n<p>A horse is, in fact, so different from<br \/>\na dog that it should not be considered anything<br \/>\nlike it unless and until you know and understand<br \/>\nthe differences.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>To be blunt&#8230;you could be killed.<\/p>\n<p>I could cite multiple REAL experiences<br \/>\nI have received emails about or have read<br \/>\nabout. \u00a0Treat your horse like a dog and<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ll be sorry you did.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of &#8220;Myth Laws&#8221;. \u00a0I don&#8217;t<br \/>\nhave time nor the energy to list and explain<br \/>\nthem&#8230;but they&#8217;re there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 Next is the &#8220;Actual Laws&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are the laws in the horse world<br \/>\nto really pay attention to because, for the<br \/>\nmost part, they apply to all horses.<\/p>\n<p>An example of Actual Laws are things like:<\/p>\n<p>1. You have to train both sides<br \/>\nof the horse.<\/p>\n<p>2. A horse is a prey animal. \u00a0Thus,<br \/>\nalways treat him accordingly<br \/>\nto keep his fear level down.<\/p>\n<p>3. Horses can feel a fly on them<br \/>\nyet we think we need to kick<br \/>\nthe !@#$ out them to turn<br \/>\nleft or right. \u00a0The problem?<br \/>\nThey feel the kick, thank<br \/>\nyou very much &#8211; they just<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re asking<br \/>\nof them&#8230;yet.<\/p>\n<p>And so on.<\/p>\n<p>The Actual Laws are something you must<br \/>\nabsorb into your brain AND use if you&#8217;re gonna<br \/>\nhave a horse.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it so important?<\/p>\n<p>Again, it boils down to your safety.<\/p>\n<p>Violate an &#8220;Actual Law&#8221; and you may<br \/>\nend up hurt&#8230;or worse.<\/p>\n<p>Know the Actual Laws, and you will be<br \/>\nso much safer and have a lot more fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 The third set of laws are the &#8220;Gray Laws&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are the ones that may or may not<br \/>\napply to horses depending on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re called Gray Laws because they&#8217;re<br \/>\nnot exactly Black and White or absolute.<\/p>\n<p>An example of Gray Laws is:<\/p>\n<p>1. A horse bucks with some but not others.<\/p>\n<p>2. Although a horse is a horse, he is not the<br \/>\nsame as all horses. \u00a0Therefore, not every<br \/>\ntechnique will work on every horse.<\/p>\n<p>Like the other Laws, there are lots of<br \/>\nthese but that&#8217;s all my brain could cough up at<br \/>\nthe moment.<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, there are so many<br \/>\nlaws it is overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>How do you learn it all?<\/p>\n<p>Truly, the shortcut way is to learn the<br \/>\n&#8220;Actual Laws&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because knowing them will wipe out they<br \/>\nMyth Laws.<\/p>\n<p>And once you know the Actual Laws, the<br \/>\nGray Laws are much easier to deal with<br \/>\nand figure out.<\/p>\n<p>So I urge you to know the Actual Laws.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it takes time but is well worth<br \/>\nthe effort.<\/p>\n<p>A great place to learn the laws and how<br \/>\nthey work is right from the Jesse Beery<br \/>\nHorse Training Course itself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/beery\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.<wbr>horsetrainingresources.com\/<wbr>beery\/<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t be fooled&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Beery course covers things<br \/>\nlike driving and similar training, the real<br \/>\nmeat is Jesse Beery&#8217;s complete understanding<br \/>\nof how a horse learns and his application of<br \/>\nthe principles he developed over the many years<br \/>\nof training literally hundreds of horses.<\/p>\n<p>This course is just as valuable today as it<br \/>\nwas the day it was written. \u00a0Perhaps even more.<\/p>\n<p>You see, this course was written when folks<br \/>\nhad to rely on their horses every day. \u00a0They<br \/>\nhad to have safe, well-minded horses or they&#8217;d<br \/>\nsuffer. \u00a0They&#8217;re daily lives, farms and businesses<br \/>\ndepended on horses.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about the Jesse Beery Course here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/beery\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.<wbr>horsetrainingresources.com\/<wbr>beery\/<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We offer the Beery course in a spiral bound<br \/>\nbook, as downloads and in audio book form. \u00a0You<br \/>\ncan learn in any mode you so choose or prefer.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll probably be interested in the Beery<br \/>\npulley bridle and the 4-Way riding and training<br \/>\nbit, too.<\/p>\n<p>We offer all these things in our Beery Bundles<br \/>\nyou can see here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/bundle\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.<wbr>horsetrainingresources.com\/<wbr>bundle\/<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oh &#8211; and if you want to teach a bunch of fun<br \/>\ntricks to you horse, Volume 8 of the Beery Course<br \/>\nis all about trick training.<\/p>\n<p>We also offer a DVD by Sue Robertson on trick<br \/>\ntraining here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/suerobertson-trick-training\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.<wbr>com\/dvds\/suerobertson-trick-<wbr>training\/<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We also offer Sue&#8217;s trick training DVD and the<br \/>\nBeery course book as a bundle. \u00a0You can save a lot<br \/>\nof money when you get both.<\/p>\n<p>Phew &#8211; that&#8217;s a lot for today. \u00a0We&#8217;ve been<br \/>\nworkin&#8217; like busy beavers around here and<br \/>\naren&#8217;t letting up.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Kindle Books:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re putting more books up on Kindle, too.<br \/>\nIn fact, I&#8217;ll have a new books I&#8217;m going to<br \/>\nbe launching in the next couple weeks.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the Kindle books here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/ZqIJy5\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/amzn.to\/ZqIJy5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stay safe out there. \u00a0Work with your horses<br \/>\nand get &#8217;em respecting you. \u00a0Your life may\u00a0\u00a0depend on it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Blessings,<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
