there are some good tips<br \/>\nincluded below!<\/p>\n<p>The Miss America pageant has a long<br \/>\nhistory in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>And you may be surprised to know a<br \/>\nhorse was once used in the talent portion.<\/p>\n<p>In 1949, Carol Fraser (Miss Montana),<br \/>\nrode a horse onto the stage to do an equine<br \/>\nroutine.<\/p>\n<p>After this performance, animal acts<br \/>\nwere banned from the pageant.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because the horse stumbled and nearly<br \/>\nlanded in the orchestra pit.<\/p>\n<p>No,&#8230;I am NOT making that up!<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine sitting in the orchestra<br \/>\npit and seeing this 1000 pound animal<br \/>\nabout to land on you and your violin?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, horses on a solid stage<br \/>\nis not a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>But in the dirt&#8230;now that&#8217;s where<br \/>\nthey can show their stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the coolest things a horse<br \/>\ndoes (in my humble opinion) are sliding stops<br \/>\nand spins.<\/p>\n<p>And you don&#8217;t have to be a master<br \/>\ntrainer to teach &#8217;em.<\/p>\n<p>But they are a wonderful way to better<br \/>\nyourself and your horse.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d be shocked how much you can hone<br \/>\nyour communication skills with a horse just<br \/>\nby doing this.<\/p>\n<p>And really, there are no tricks to<br \/>\ndoing it.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, not every horse can do this well.<\/p>\n<p>Some are better &#8216;n others but it&#8217;s<br \/>\nstill fun to do.<\/p>\n<p>We filmed Chuck Nesmith showing how to<br \/>\ndo this step-by-step.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easier than you&#8217;d think &#8211; especially<br \/>\nusing Chuck&#8217;s method.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, there are things you<br \/>\nshould know &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; that are going on<br \/>\nbefore you horse can do these things.<\/p>\n<p>One is, you want your horse to guide good.<\/p>\n<p>When you move your hand, you want the<br \/>\nhorse to move.\u00a0 Everything you do with your hand<br \/>\nyou also back up with your leg.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the more you can get your horse to<br \/>\nguide, the more confident they become in what they&#8217;re<br \/>\ndoing.<\/p>\n<p>Do you know what makes a good reining horse<br \/>\neven if your horse isn&#8217;t a reiner?<\/p>\n<p>Confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Your horse not only needs it&#8230;so do you<br \/>\nas the rider.<\/p>\n<p>Once Chuck has done his warm-ups and made<br \/>\nsure the horse can do a few things, he works on<br \/>\nstopping.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck has 3 cues for stopping.<\/p>\n<p>1. Saying &#8220;whoa&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>2. Sit down and take away your legs.<br \/>\n(This is Chuck&#8217;s #1 cue.)<\/p>\n<p>3. Picking his hand up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-nesmith.html\" title=\"Get Your Chuck Nesmith DVD Set NOW\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Chuck Nesmith DVD Set NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And Chuck doesn&#8217;t like to use a fence to<br \/>\nteach a horse to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t think he can get anymore drive<br \/>\nfrom the backend by running them to the fence.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck says it&#8217;s just not for him.<\/p>\n<p>I find this rather refreshing because<br \/>\nhere&#8217;s a guy doing it differently from lots of<br \/>\nother people AND he&#8217;s very successful with his<br \/>\nown way.<\/p>\n<p>What is his own way?<\/p>\n<p>Chuck trots his horse toward the rail.<\/p>\n<p>If the horse ducks left or right he will<br \/>\nsteer him back the other way.<\/p>\n<p>When he gets up to the fence, he backs<br \/>\nthe horse.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because the same muscle group used in<br \/>\nstopping is being used in backing.<\/p>\n<p>Then he turns them around easy.<\/p>\n<p>You may wonder if Chuck works on roll<br \/>\nbacks when teaching stopping.<\/p>\n<p>He doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because they are two different maneuvers<br \/>\nand he doesn&#8217;t want his horse jumping around.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if you want to learn to teach your<br \/>\nhorse good stopping (and sliding stops) and how<br \/>\nto spin, Chuck gives a remarkably thorough<br \/>\nexplanation how to do it in his DVD.<\/p>\n<p>To see more, click on the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-nesmith.html\" title=\"Get Your Chuck Nesmith DVD Set NOW\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Chuck Nesmith DVD Set NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ride safe.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
