out of control<br \/>\nand needs lots of work, the owner gets<br \/>\nstuck and doesn&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time for&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Horse Rehab&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What is horse rehab?<\/p>\n<p>Horse rehab is nothing more than simply<br \/>\nstarting over with the horse and assuming that<br \/>\nhe knows nothing.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what most trainers do.<\/p>\n<p>Bring a problem horse to a trainer and<br \/>\nthey&#8217;ll make their assessment and likely &#8220;restart&#8221;<br \/>\nthe horse from day one.<\/p>\n<p>Why would a trainer do that?<\/p>\n<p>Because the problem you see may only be<br \/>\na symptom.\u00a0 The real problem may be happening<br \/>\nbefore the symptom shows up.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s an example?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Once I had a horse that would rear up.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d ride around the barn a little and<br \/>\nthen we&#8217;d head out.<\/p>\n<p>Very soon she&#8217;d rear up.<\/p>\n<p>Now you ask yourself, &#8220;is that the problem<br \/>\nor is it a symptom?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Turns out it was the symptom&#8230;even though<br \/>\nrearing is a problem (but not THE problem).<\/p>\n<p>You may have already guessed it, but the<br \/>\nhorse just didn&#8217;t want to leave the barn.<\/p>\n<p>So I thought that was fine &#8211; we don&#8217;t<br \/>\nhave to leave the barn.\u00a0 But if we stay, we&#8217;re<br \/>\ngonna work our butts off.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, whenever we started leaving the barn<br \/>\nand the horse would rear, I hustled her back to<br \/>\nthe barn and we worked, and worked, and worked,<br \/>\nand worked and&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Then I asked her to quietly leave the<br \/>\nbarn.\u00a0 We left in a slow pace to make a clear<br \/>\ndistinction that leaving the barn was nice but<br \/>\nstaying meant hard work.<\/p>\n<p>She didn&#8217;t get it first, so we went back<br \/>\nto work at the barn.\u00a0 This time, we worked harder<br \/>\nand longer.<\/p>\n<p>Then we quietly walked away from the<br \/>\nbarn at a leisurely, easy-going pace.<\/p>\n<p>I had to repeat this several times before<br \/>\nher light bulb turned on.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one example of what I mean by<br \/>\nsymptoms and problems.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the horse didn&#8217;t need to<br \/>\nbe re-started &#8211; I just happen to know what was<br \/>\ngoing on.<\/p>\n<p>But often, a horse will have to be re-<br \/>\nstarted.<\/p>\n<p>How do you restart a horse?<\/p>\n<p>The same way you start a green one.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>One of our trainers has a DVD showing her<br \/>\n30 day training program.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, one of the things she teaches is<br \/>\nhow to teach your horse to stop if you&#8217;re falling off.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re on your horse and he&#8217;s going<br \/>\nat a good pace and you start slipping, your horse<br \/>\nis going to slow down or even stop so you don&#8217;t<br \/>\nget hurt.<\/p>\n<p>How does she teach this?<\/p>\n<p>With a deflated inner tube.<\/p>\n<p>She gets the horse in the round pen.<\/p>\n<p>She gets it used to the inner tube before<br \/>\nputting it on the horse.<\/p>\n<p>Once used to it, then it goes on the horse.<\/p>\n<p>The horse is asked to move.<\/p>\n<p>When it moves the inner tube begins to<br \/>\nslide off.<\/p>\n<p>Then Diana slows the horse down as the<br \/>\ninner tube slips.<\/p>\n<p>Once the inner tube falls off the horse<br \/>\nis told to stop completely.<\/p>\n<p>You see, the inner tube mimics the rider.<br \/>\nIf the rider falls off, the horse relates to it<br \/>\nand begins to slow down or stop.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, not everyone would want this<br \/>\nin their horse.<\/p>\n<p>But frankly, if you&#8217;re 40 or over and not<br \/>\nbeen around horses all your life, it&#8217;s not a bad<br \/>\nthing to have your horse doing.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, Diana shows how to do all kinds<br \/>\nof valuable things so you can have a better horse<br \/>\nand avoid putting him through horse rehab.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t seen it yet, I urge you to<br \/>\nbecause she&#8217;s been at this game for 22 years and has<br \/>\nwon numerous awards.<\/p>\n<p>You can see more by clicking the following:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-dianaq.html<\/p>\n<p>Once you see Diana&#8217;s DVD, you learn specific<br \/>\ncues to give your horse, how long it takes for the<br \/>\nhorse to learn vocal cues, how to keep your horse<br \/>\nfrom getting too worked up, how to prevent your horse<br \/>\nfrom bucking, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Cool stuff.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-dianaq.html<\/p>\n<p>OK.\u00a0 That&#8217;s it for today &#8211;
