Dear Keith...
Wednesday, May 30, 2007
I have a big horse that I have raised since a baby. She is awesome except she has some issues I cannot seem to overcome. I finally sent her to training with borrowed money and the guy totally abused her and even amputated 5 inches of tail BONE. She is now worse. She does not respond to anything but calm and kindness but I need help!!!! I love her so much and cannot get rid of her – she is dangerous and frankly I am very concerned. PLEASE help. |

Hi, Linda – thank you for the email.
While I'm sure you understand that I can't advice via a simple email for a horse I’ve never seen, I can suggest that you go to this page on my site: http://www.horsemanship101.com/Horse-Training-Tools/index1001.html. It lists over 200 training topics. Simply find a topic related to your situation and the link will bring you to a list of relevant books, video, audio tapes. It will also link you to free articles, when they're available. Note that some topics (like “biting”) haven’t been addressed yet. They someday will be – but right not most of our articles mirror our riding clinics.
You might also look for a John Lyons trainer in your area. A list of trainers can be found here: http://horsemanship101.com/John-Lyons-Trainer-Links/John-Lyons-Trainers-US.html.
You can find a list of our upcoming clinics here on my site:
http://horsemanship101.com/John-Lyons-Trainer-Clinics/Where-and-When.html.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much, I will do that – anything – I just love this mare and am so attached
If you ever want to do a clinic at the barn where I am at let me know. I'll hook it up. I think those that know my horse would be amazed at what you can do with her.

Suggested Article: "Horses That Pull On the Bit and Head Tossers"
If your horse begins to "root at the bit," that is to drop its head and try to pull or tug the reins out of your hands, then what he's saying is that you've taught him that if he pulls on the bit, your hands will move – and he'll get away from the...

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...
