Dear Keith...

Keith,
Will you be having anything on starting a horse? I have a 2/12-3 year old TWH that I have been using the Lyons method on for her training.

Suggested Article: "The First Thing I Do"
If your horse went ballistic out on the trail last week... it didn't "just happen out of the blue." He's been telling you for weeks or months that he was going to lose it when enough pressure was applied every time he resisted (however slightly)...

Suggested Article: "Three Step Stop Exercise"
"When you've mastered this exercise, the cool "upshot" is that if you're riding your horse, and his body is in the wrong position to pick up his lead, for instance, (maybe he's all "splayed out") then you can simply pick up the reins and drive him...
