Sample Our Newsletter
"Rider Checklists," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the Trail Horse Training Series:
"I'm going to give you three "Rider Checklists" today. Together they'll keep you safer and accelerate your training to boot. How accelerate? They'll keep you rational; they'll keep you from "losing it" - which has the effect of setting your training back. The fact is, when we don't have an objective means of approaching our training, when we simply "ride," reacting emotionally to what's happening, we're asking for a wreck - or at the very least, a bad day. The horse gets confused and we get frustrated or lose our temper. Not an environment conducive to a proper education, would you say?
Each of the following lists will cover small things you can simply check off in your brain. Basically, has something happened or not? If the answer is "not," I'll tell you what to do. Your answers to those questions will, flowchart-like, tell you how to act in the moment or how best to form your day's game plan."

Rein In Your Horse's Speed Online Course
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 3:
"Once I began teaching this simple concept in my clinics, it made a dramatic difference immediately. What I would first see were people who were thinking "Horse, you're not going to do this; I'm going to have to force you to do this." And then they'd yank. Again and again and again. What works exponentially better is to start with: "My horse stops on a dime every time; he's the best" (yes, even when the last four hundred times he didn't), then ask your horse to stop. If and when he blows through that stop, I want you to literally act shocked. Say out loud "I can't believe you just did that. I must not have spoken loud enough." Then find the pressures or angle it takes to get a response." - Print out from home
