they&#8217;d do nothing whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, that&#8217;s dang near how<br \/>\nSam Burrell&#8217;s Operating System is for horses.<\/p>\n<p>Without an Operating System, your<br \/>\nhorse won&#8217;t do what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Like a locked up computer, so will your horse be locked up.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I promised to give a little<br \/>\ninsight to Sam&#8217;s Operating System.<\/p>\n<p>So, here goes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You need good ground work done in your horse already.<br \/>\n(See our Diana Quinatana DVD&#8217;s if you need ground work info)<\/p>\n<p>He should be halter broke too.<\/p>\n<p>Next, picture your horse as divided up into four parts.<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0 The Head &#8216;n Neck.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 Shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 Barrel (Rib cage).<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 And Hindquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Each of those areas are a zone.<\/p>\n<p>Now the trick is to communicate to your horse how you&#8217;d like him to move those zones.<\/p>\n<p>Thus begins the installation of the<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Operating System&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bur first, try this little experiment.<\/p>\n<p>Put your hand out in front of you and<br \/>\nrest it on a table.<\/p>\n<p>Now look at your thumb.<\/p>\n<p>Now move your thumb.<\/p>\n<p>You just communicated to yourself to<br \/>\nmove your thumb.<\/p>\n<p>Now look at your pinky.<\/p>\n<p>Do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Now move your thumb and pinky one after the other.<\/p>\n<p>As you do, look at each one as you ask<br \/>\nyourself to move them.<\/p>\n<p>Now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Look straight ahead and move your thumb and pinky &#8211; no looking at them.<\/p>\n<p>In a sense, this is what it will be like installing<br \/>\nan Operating System in your horse.<\/p>\n<p>Your horse will be THAT responsive if you do it.<\/p>\n<p>Before you start installing the Operating System, you<br \/>\nmust understand the 4 Rein Effects with a snaffle bit.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, there&#8217;s the Direct Rein.<br \/>\n(Also known as the Leading Rein)<\/p>\n<p>The name &#8220;Direct&#8221; implies exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a &#8220;direct&#8221; connection to your horse.<\/p>\n<p>This is the rein that teaches lateral flexion.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re teaching a green horse or re- training<br \/>\na horse it&#8217;s very important you do this correctly.<\/p>\n<p>You take the Direct Rein halfway between your hip<br \/>\nand the horse&#8217;s eye so that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your horse can see it&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Soon, he&#8217;ll get to where he knows what it means when he<br \/>\nsees your hand coming up there to get the rein.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a &#8220;Pre-Cue&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like letting your horse know you&#8217;re going to ask<br \/>\nhim to stop before you ask him to stop.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the yellow light before the Red light.<\/p>\n<p>Makes sense?<\/p>\n<p>Good.<\/p>\n<p>Other Rein Effects are the Indirect Rein also known as the<br \/>\n&#8220;Neck Rein&#8221;, the &#8220;Direct Rein of Opposition&#8221;,<br \/>\nand the &#8220;Indirect Rein of Opposition&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I know they sound confusing but when you hear Sam&#8217;s<br \/>\nexplanation, you&#8217;ll understand it immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Then Sam goes over the leg positions and how they must be done.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest keys to using legs correctly is<br \/>\nusing them in a consistent manner.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the Zone Exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the &#8220;Zone&#8221; I said a minute ago?<\/p>\n<p>Zone exercises work the horse&#8217;s zones.<\/p>\n<p>Zones being the head &#8216;n neck, shoulders, barrel and hindquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Zone One exercise is the easiest because it&#8217;s walking a circle.<\/p>\n<p>For a brief explanation, you walk a 15 foot circle.<\/p>\n<p>Be able to see your horse&#8217;s eye.<\/p>\n<p>Not the whole eye, just be able to see a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>That way you&#8217;ll know you have his head tilted in far enough.<\/p>\n<p>Your inside leg is full of life.<\/p>\n<p>By that I mean you do touches and releases to keep your<br \/>\nhorse bent in the arc.<\/p>\n<p>The outside leg is off.<\/p>\n<p>As Sam says, you want your horse going around in a circle<br \/>\nlike a train does on the track.<\/p>\n<p>You know those model trains kids (and adults) have that<br \/>\ngo in a circle?\u00a0 Remember how the entire train is arc&#8217;d<br \/>\nfrom the engine back to the caboose?<\/p>\n<p>Picture your horse as the entire train and his body is arc&#8217;d.<\/p>\n<p>This is high caliber information Sam reveals and if you<br \/>\nhaven&#8217;t see it yet, then take a look.\u00a0 Click on the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" title=\"Get Your Sam Burrell Training DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Sam Burrell Training DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next thing to remember is to do this at all 3 gaits &#8211;<br \/>\nbut start it at a walk.<\/p>\n<p>If your horse can&#8217;t get it a walk, he dang sure won&#8217;t<br \/>\nget it at a trot and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, being able to see the eye is true for the trot and lope too.<\/p>\n<p>Oh&#8230;and don&#8217;t forget to go the other<br \/>\ndirection and do his other side.<\/p>\n<p>How do you know when you can start doing this at the trot and lope?<\/p>\n<p>When he has it mastered in the walk &#8220;both&#8221;<br \/>\ndirections.<\/p>\n<p>Again, take a look at Sam&#8217;s info.<\/p>\n<p>You need this.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the following to see it:<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" title=\"Get Your Sam Burrell Training DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Sam Burrell Training DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well.. that&#8217;s if for today.\u00a0 Enjoy your horses but do it safely.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<br \/>\nP.S.
