Re: problems horses

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 that behavior for only about three months. That's it. Three months. After that, it's your fault because three months is enough time to change your horse if you're being consistent and truly working toward fixing the issue at hand. The other guy might have created the problem, but four months later you've either allowed the problem to continue – or you don't know how to fix it. Obviously something you're doing isn't fixing the problem. Does this sound like you? Ask yourself: What am I doing to allow this problem to continue?
