Is Your Horse In Condition For Training?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Normally common sense goes a long way.  Think about yourself&#8230;<br \/>\nDo you enjoy learning, concentrating or doing lots of physical effort<br \/>\nwhen you&#8217;re tired, run down or just came in from an emotionally draining situation?<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s the same case with your horse.<\/p>\n<p>If your horse is tired from other training, has just been ridden a while,<br \/>\nor is in bad shape then he isn&#8217;t going to respond as well as you would like.<\/p>\n<p>A healthy and vigorous body leads to healthy nerves and his brain will<br \/>\nretain much more of what you want to teach him.<\/p>\n<p>If your horse is dull or listless then be sure to warm him up and take<br \/>\nthe training slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t do long periods of training under these situations.  Your efforts will<br \/>\nnot be rewarded if he&#8217;s tired and worn out.<\/p>\n<p>And, think about yourself if someone is trying teach or show you something &#8211;<br \/>\nif they speak kindly and soft to you vs. harshly and threatening you with a<br \/>\nwhip, wouldn&#8217;t you react differently?<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, your horse will respond much better to pleasant, encouraging<br \/>\nwords with caressing or rub downs rather than harsh, loud words.<\/p>\n<p>Talking harsh, screaming, whipping, etc. just saps the energy from a horse &#8211;<br \/>\njust like it would you and me.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; if your horse isn&#8217;t responding to your training or he seems down<br \/>\nand dull then you might try talking gently to him, leading him around a<br \/>\nlittle, and let him &#8220;warm up&#8221; to you some before you do any heavy training.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;ll be much more likely to give you his attention if he&#8217;s not tired and alert.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the most successful horse training course<br \/>\nin history, click the link below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.HorseTrainingResources.com\/beery.html\" title=\"Jesse Beery 8 Volume Illustrated Course in Horse Training\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jesse Beery 8 Volume Course in Horse Training <\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n***********************************************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Excessive Motivation In The Round Pen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s trainer Andy Curry discussing different methods trainers use:<\/p>\n<p>Different trainers, as you likely<br \/>\nknow, have different ways of doing things with horses.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a trainer may use a rope<br \/>\nto toss toward the horse to get him to step forward and get motion out of him.<\/p>\n<p>Other trainers use a whip.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we don&#8217;t strike the horse with the whip.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s used in several different ways<br \/>\nas an effective tool.<\/p>\n<p>One way is to have it hit the ground<br \/>\nbehind the horse to drive him forward.<\/p>\n<p>Not so close to him that he fears it,<br \/>\nand not so far away from him that it doesn&#8217;t motivate him to move.<\/p>\n<p>And you dang sure don&#8217;t wanna accidentally hit him with it.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re kinda new to it, you should<br \/>\npractice directing it first before you use it.<\/p>\n<p>It takes a little finesse&#8230;but it can<br \/>\nbe learned pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Now here&#8217;s a very important point.<\/p>\n<p>Once the horse moves, take away the whip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hide&#8221; it under your arm so it&#8217;s not<br \/>\nconstantly in their face and threatening them.<\/p>\n<p>I find many a horse owner doesn&#8217;t know their horse feels the threat<br \/>\neven though the horse owner isn&#8217;t meaning to threaten.<\/p>\n<p>We must remember the horse is a 1,000+<br \/>\npounds of &#8220;raw&#8221; emotion and is easily frightened and we<br \/>\nhave to treat them accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Diana Quintana shows the correct use of the whip if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n<p>You can read about it by clicking the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-dianaq.html\" title=\"Get Diana Quintanna's Training DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Diana Quitanna&#8217;s Training DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In her DVD, she reminds us about trying to teach a horse something<br \/>\nwhile they&#8217;re still full of energy.<\/p>\n<p>Let your horse lope some of it off.<\/p>\n<p>One of the worse things you can do is<br \/>\nteach a horse something new when he is still full of energy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s kinda like recess in elementary<br \/>\nschool.<\/p>\n<p>Those kiddos need to release some energy or they&#8217;ll<br \/>\nstruggle to learn something.<\/p>\n<p>They get to burn off energy and settle<br \/>\nback down for more learning.<\/p>\n<p>So consider your horse out to recess for a little bit before<br \/>\ntrying to teach him something new.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, when you get him moving it keeps adding to the &#8220;Cup of Respect&#8221;<br \/>\nfor you so he learns to pay attention to you and be watchful of what you want.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-dianaq.html\" title=\"Get Diana Quintanna's Training DVD\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Diana Quitanna&#8217;s Training DVD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today&#8230;.
