Can You Help Your Horse With His Thinking?<\/p>\n<p>2. Can This New Bridle Help You?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>*************************************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Can You Help Your Horse With His Thinking?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s trainer Andy Curry with some great tips:<\/p>\n<p>Ever think about this?<\/p>\n<p>How does your horse act?<\/p>\n<p>Did you ever think about why he acts<br \/>\nlike he does?<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you have a belligerent horse,<br \/>\nhe may be like that because he &#8216;thinks&#8217;<br \/>\nhe won&#8217;t be safe if he &#8216;isn&#8217;t&#8217; belligerent.<\/p>\n<p>Ones that are aggressive may be that<br \/>\nway because they feel out of control if they &#8216;aren&#8217;t&#8217; aggressive.<\/p>\n<p>After all, they&#8217;re in an environment<br \/>\nfull of pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they can&#8217;t leave the stable when<br \/>\nthey want.<\/p>\n<p>They can&#8217;t walk away from biting flies.<\/p>\n<p>Think about this.<\/p>\n<p>All the pressures (most anyway) are<br \/>\npressures &#8216;WE&#8217; put on them that they wouldn&#8217;t normally have done to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Did you ever think about that?<\/p>\n<p>After all, who would purposely hurt<br \/>\nthemselves if they were &#8216;in their right mind&#8217;?<\/p>\n<p>No one I know of.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a guy in our town who I find<br \/>\nis a bit scary.<\/p>\n<p>As a child he grew up in a foster family.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m betting he didn&#8217;t get the love and<br \/>\nattention that so many of us did.<\/p>\n<p>He did a 2 or 3 year prison stint be-<br \/>\ncause he was an accessory to burglary.<\/p>\n<p>Although he&#8217;s not gone back to prison,<br \/>\nhas a wife and 2 kids, and has had a job for several years,&#8230;he&#8217;s still scary.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>When I talk to him I wonder if he&#8217;s<br \/>\njust going have an uncontrollable urge to reach up and hit me just to show me he can.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds strange, I know.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been known to talk about his prison stint&#8230;almost as if he&#8217;s proud of it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve often heard him say, &#8216;When I was in prison&#8230;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s said to me, &#8216;I hate rich people.\u00a0 I&#8217;d just as soon beat &#8217;em than look at them.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>My thought at the time was, &#8216;&#8230;am I glad I&#8217;m not rich!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s argumentative even when you&#8217;re not arguing with him.<\/p>\n<p>He kind of looks for it for whatever reason.<\/p>\n<p>And so on, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>How did this man, who was someone&#8217;s baby and born<br \/>\nwith an empty slate, become like this?<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m far from an expert, my &#8216;guess&#8217;<br \/>\nis his experiences made him that way.<\/p>\n<p>His &#8216;beliefs&#8217; arise from the way he was treated.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps he felt mistreated by people he thought were<br \/>\nrich and therefore.. all rich people are the enemy.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>But I still think he&#8217;s a product of his experiences.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s this got to do with horses?<\/p>\n<p>Everything, actually.<\/p>\n<p>Every second you&#8217;re with your horse you&#8217;re training him.<\/p>\n<p>What you do triggers a response in him.<\/p>\n<p>They say you can tell what the owner&#8217;s<br \/>\nlike by what the horse says.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if you have a disrespectful horse it&#8217;s said the<br \/>\nowner gets willingly walked on and\/or doesn&#8217;t know how<br \/>\nto handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p>It could also be that the owner doesn&#8217;t know what a<br \/>\nhorse&#8217;s disrespect is or what it looks like nor do<br \/>\nthey understand how serious that problem really is.<\/p>\n<p>But an aggressive horse?<\/p>\n<p>That could result from lots of things but one is not being treated fairly.<\/p>\n<p>Did the horse learn if he got aggressive he could stop the unfairness?<\/p>\n<p>If so, I ask&#8230;&#8217;Why, then, wouldn&#8217;t he<br \/>\nbe aggressive?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s what I want you to know.<\/p>\n<p>When I interviewed Linda Braddy she said this profound statement:<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s important we gentle<br \/>\nour horses in a way they<br \/>\nunderstand that we&#8217;re<br \/>\ngoing to take care of them<br \/>\nand they&#8217;ll cooperate.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>To the greenhorn, this statement would<br \/>\nnormally bounce off the ears and not be thought through.<\/p>\n<p>But if you get what I just said about<br \/>\nexperiences making the horse what he is at that moment<br \/>\n(give or take some instinctual stuff), then you can<br \/>\nmove mountains with your horse.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure you&#8217;re up to speed<br \/>\nthen go get lessons, read books, and watch DVD&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care who&#8217;s books and DVD&#8217;s you<br \/>\ngo through &#8211; as long as you keep at it.<\/p>\n<p>The more you learn from different trainers, the more<br \/>\nideas you get.\u00a0 The wider your knowledge becomes.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, you find yourself getting incredible responses and<br \/>\nactions from your horse because of what you learned and put to use.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, you find you&#8217;re not asking as many questions<br \/>\nbut are instead answering other people&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want see what Linda can teach you,<br \/>\nclick on the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-brady.html\" title=\"Get Your Copy of the Linda Braddy DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Copy of the Linda Braddy DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Remember, teach your horse in a way he understands &#8211;<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s what Linda&#8217;s all about.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-brady.html\" title=\"Get Your Copy of the Linda Braddy DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Copy of the Linda Braddy DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>**********************************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.
