Dear Keith...
Sunday, July 8, 2007
Hello!
I am really enjoying your newsletters and tremendous wealth of informative articles in an easy to access format. Your new training tips clips are fabulous!
I have been riding for over 60 years and it is always good to "review" topics from time to time and there is always something to learn no matter how long one has been associated with horses!
Recently I obtained a wonderful little morgan mare, 14 years old that supposedly had "issues" and was going to be put down. I have had her now for about 6 months and have not had any problems with her whatsoever. I feel her "issues" were environment and ignorance on the part of her previous owner.
It will be helpful to continue to avail myself of your vast library as I continue to explore ways and means to define and improve my partnership with my equine friends.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
Regards, Lynne Y |

Suggested Article: "Thought vs Action"
When you think different, you are different. The more you raise your expectations, the better your horse will become. Those two thoughts bring us to a concept called "Thought vs Action." Riding an "action" is how ninety-nine percent of the people...

Suggested Article: "Why Does My Horse Still Have This Problem"
It's your job to be consistent simply because horses become mirror images of their owners. Let's say you buy a horse and the horse pulls on the bit like he's trying to rip your arms out of their sockets. Well, you can blame the previous owner for...
