which is this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Understand your horse&#8217;s nature and<br \/>\nyou can get him to do about anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now&#8230;does that mean it doesn&#8217;t matter<br \/>\nif you know techniques?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not what I said.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing techniques &#8220;does&#8221; matter.<\/p>\n<p>And you should always be adding<br \/>\nto your bag of tricks.<\/p>\n<p>Techniques are invaluable to get a horse<br \/>\nto do something.<\/p>\n<p>But what good is a technique if you<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know &#8220;WHY&#8221; it works?<\/p>\n<p>A technique may work for a particular<br \/>\ninstance but not for other instances.<\/p>\n<p>The reason may be because of the &#8220;reason&#8221;<br \/>\nthe technique works.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example.<\/p>\n<p>Say a horse bites at you.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you understand your horse, you<br \/>\nmay knock him in the head for doin&#8217; it.<\/p>\n<p>Sure it felt good to vindicate yourself<br \/>\nbecause he hurt you.<\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;re likely gonna make him head shy<br \/>\nif you knock him in the face much more.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because when he sees your hand coming<br \/>\ntowards his face, he&#8217;ll think he&#8217;s going to get<br \/>\nhit in the face.<\/p>\n<p>That means, he&#8217;ll move his head away<br \/>\nfrom you.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, when you go to pet him, perhaps<br \/>\nbridle or halter him&#8230;he won&#8217;t let you because<br \/>\nhe thinks you&#8217;re gonna smack him.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that about horses, then you&#8217;re<br \/>\nnot gonna smack him on the face.<\/p>\n<p>But there are times you &#8220;may&#8221; have to<br \/>\n&#8220;spank&#8221; your horse and times you shouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding your horse&#8217;s nature will<br \/>\nhelp you understand what&#8217;s appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s my point?<\/p>\n<p>In his video, J.J. Rydberg says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Keep piddlin&#8217; with your horse<br \/>\nto get him to do what you want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What J.J. means is to just keep at it.<\/p>\n<p>When you get a try, call that a success<br \/>\nfor the day and put him up until tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect.\u00a0 In fact,<br \/>\nperfect doesn&#8217;t come without repetition.\u00a0 Even<br \/>\nthen, perfection isn&#8217;t going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>You always work towards it, but you won&#8217;t<br \/>\nlikely get perfection.<\/p>\n<p>Just because you don&#8217;t know how to get<br \/>\nyour horse doing something doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>After all, how do you think the techniques<br \/>\npassed along these hundreds (thousands?) of years<br \/>\ncame about?<\/p>\n<p>Horse&#8217;s never came with an Owner&#8217;s Manuals.<\/p>\n<p>The horse trainers understood their horses<br \/>\nand from that understanding they were able to think<br \/>\nthrough what works and use it &#8211; otherwise known as<br \/>\ntechniques.<\/p>\n<p>So as usual, I encourage you to keep learning<br \/>\nabout your horse&#8217;s nature.<\/p>\n<p>In his video, J.J. Rydberg reveals several<br \/>\nthings about horses that are vital to understanding<br \/>\ntheir nature.<\/p>\n<p>The cool thing is this.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. is the horse training and management<br \/>\nteacher at his local college and he&#8217;s good at<br \/>\nteaching.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell that from his video.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, he&#8217;s been around horses since he<br \/>\nwas knee-high to a grasshopper and is one of the<br \/>\nfew skilled at teaching.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to read more about his video,<br \/>\nclick on the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-jjrydberg.html\" title=\"Get Your J.J.
