Sample Our Newsletter
"Scared of My Horse," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the Ask a Horse Trainer Series:
"Your horse wants to eat, sleep and poop. "Bonding" has never been high on his list.
You can have a terrific relationship, but it takes respect – and respect must be earned. Begin by realizing that you're the one paying the bills. Your horse is certainly "not the boss of you." You keep your horse, giving him the very best of care, but in return he works for you and has a job to do. He'd be more than happy to sit on the couch in front of the TV, barking out orders for you to bring him pop and sandwiches – but it can't work like that. You have to go to work everyday; your horse has to go to work everyday. Typically horses work an hour or so daily while we slog through traffic before putting in our eight – so our equine friends, even those in full training, have a pretty good deal."

Stop Bucking Study Course
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 4:
"Child’s play? Sure, but you’d be surprised how many out of control horses are ridden by people who have overlooked or didn’t recognize the very moment they lost control.
Now, take that a step farther: Move and wait till you lose his focus again. Be ready and the instant it happens begin waving both hands, call his name, hop if you have to - but get his focus on you - GET BOTH EYES LOOKING AT YOU. He’ll probably try to keep one eye on you and one on “the thing.” (Odd how they can do that.) You want both eyes and you’ll keep hopping till you get both." - Print out from home
