From "Rider Checklists," Issue 17, part 1 of our FREE monthly newsletter

Re: horse training school

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.

Formerly entitled "Controlling Your Horse's Speed Online Course"

Attention Owners of Nervous Horses: This course is for people who have horses that move too fast and who look at our long list of free articles and wonder "Which is right for me and in what order?" It's basically a prescription. You pay Dr. Hosman and he gives you a course to fix things.

Here’s how it works:

• click on "Buy Now" below to pay
• you'll be taken to a page to download a document
• SAVE THE FILE TO YOUR COMPUTER
• the document has five chapters, one for each of five days
• you'll learn theory and/or be assigned "homework" - in a specific order
• learn the material at your own pace

When you take a class in the real world, you buy your textbook, then pay to take the class, right? The teacher assigns readings or exercises from the text, but spends his time with you offering additional insight and setting goals. This course works the same way - except the text is absolutely free. You'll be assigned exercises and articles to read - often drawn from our existing newsletter archive - in a curriculum specifically designed to slow down the "too fast" horse. What this course offers then, above the existing articles themselves, is the understanding of "what to do, why to do it and in what order." That's what you'll pay about a buck a day (pun intended) to receive.

Why do you want perfect control over your horse's speed? Because controlling your horse's speed is fundamental to your safety and to getting cool things like:

• a relaxed horse who's thinking about you - not his buddies
• a horse that stops now
• smooth lead departures
• faster barrel-racing times (and no tipped barrels)
• increased maneuverability
• a controlled lope

Say good-bye to bolting, missed jumps, to your fear, to a bumpy trot nobody can sit... For about a buck a day you can take your horse from jackrabbit to calm, cool partner.

The document is 13 pages long and comes in a format that every computer can read and print out called "pdf." It's in "magazine format" which means it carries ads - but that's a good thing - because it lowers the price of this course to just a dollar a day - in the same way that advertising makes a newspaper affordable.

And, while the document is just 13 pages long, it covers a lot of material. Each of the five chapters within the document (called an "e-book") are designed to get your horse moving at the speed you have in mind rather than a dangerous speed your horse has chosen randomly. Keep this in mind: The horse that takes five seconds to stop from a trot will take seven times that long to stop from a gallop. And how far away is that barbed wire fence, cliff or child? Each chapter gives you a plan, a goal, some theory and homework. It may take you a week - and it might take you months to go through this material. Regardless, when you arrive at the other side, you'll have made significant progress in your horse's training.

And you'll save on bills from professional trainers like me.

BONUS: Purchase "Rein In Your Horse's Speed" today and you'll get "Day Five" from my other online course "Stop Bucking!" It includes two additional speed control exercises at no additional charge.

You will need the Adobe Reader to read this (pdf) file. You probably already have it, but if not, you can get it for free at adobe.com. Look for the yellow "Continue" button near the top, right corner. If you have a Mac, you can simply click on "Choose a different version" there near the top of the (center of) the page.

Canadian Customers Please Note: Canadians, please be advised (and prepared for the fact that) your order may take up to three weeks to arrive. I ship immediately and first class via the United States Postal Service - but 2-3 weeks seems to be the norm. close

Shipping Costs Too High? If you are purchasing 3 or more products, you might find that this system starts charging an arm and a leg for shipping. Nine out of ten times, shipping costs are accurate - but if you feel they're abnormally high, just send an email to me at kh@horsemanship101.com and let me know the situation. I combine shipping when possible and can drop the shipping charges in those cases to something more reasonable. close

(You'll find a button at the top of their page marked "Sign Up Now.") Note that signing up to pay by check will take a few days as PayPal verifies your account. Also note that PayPal will not allow me to send any products until your check clears (usually in about 5-6 days).
