It doesn't matter if I'm in the arena or the trail. In either place I can work on change of directions. I can work on his headset. I can get the horse working better off my legs or seat. And I can always work on speed control. I could do all kinds of different things. I can work on all those things when my horse wants to move. If my horse wants to move, I say, great, let's do it. Let's work on breaking at the poll, softening up your neck or following your nose; let's work on your leg speed; let's work on you moving off my legs. Let's do all these different things, and then, when I'm done, I'm going to ask the horse: "Do you want to clean your room, the garage and the patio? Or, do you want to just stand still?"

Canadian Customers Please Note: Canadians, please be advised (and prepared for the fact that) your order may take up to three weeks to arrive. I ship immediately and first class via the United States Postal Service - but 2-3 weeks seems to be the norm. close

Shipping Costs Too High? If you are purchasing 3 or more products, you might find that this system starts charging an arm and a leg for shipping. Nine out of ten times, shipping costs are accurate - but if you feel they're abnormally high, just send an email to me at kh@horsemanship101.com and let me know the situation. I combine shipping when possible and can drop the shipping charges in those cases to something more reasonable. close

International Shipments If you would like me to ship internationally simply purchase the product as if you lived in the U.S. (Begin by clicking the "Add to Cart" button.) At that time you will be charged the fee necessary to ship within the U.S. I will then send you an email advising you of any additional fees necessary to cover postage and/or insurance. You can then safely and easily pay the balance due online anytime on this page: Horsemanship101.com/Payments. If you feel the additional amount is too much, I will post a 100% refund immediately. Naturally, I will hold off on shipment until the additional amount due is received. close

Why Do We Use PayPal? For your protection and peace of mind, we use PayPal as our payment processor. Paypal is owned by eBay and is a known, trusted, and secure service. You do not need a Paypal account if you pay by credit card. close

Your phone number will be requested, but it is not mandatory.("Why Is That?")

You can purchase online using your checking account or a charge card like VISA. Both methods are very simple:

To purchase an item, click "Add To Cart." After that you can look at other products or pages on my site. When you're ready to complete your purchase click on the "View Cart" button on any product page. You can also use it to change quantities. You will be given an opportunity during this process to pay via your checking account or with VISA.

We use PayPal to handle our online transactions. (Why?) But, you DO NOT NEED a PayPal account to make a payment using a charge card. When it asks you to sign in, ignore that and look down the page. You'll find a link (it says "Continue") which allows you to continue without creating an account using your charge card.

You do need an account to pay by check (or "echeck"). To pay by check either sign in to your PayPal account (on the page mentioned above) or go to PayPal.com and follow the simple process to create an account. (You'll find a button at the top of their page marked "Sign Up Now.") Note that signing up to pay by check will take a few days as PayPal verifies your account. Also note that PayPal will not allow me to send any products until your check clears (usually in about 5-6 days).

If you have questions, send me an email.
