Sample Our Newsletter
"Rider Checklists," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the Trail Horse Training Series:
"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."

Stop Bucking Study Course
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 1:
"Keep tapping, annoying the horse till it moves; teach him that your body language (raising the whip, for instance) means move forward.
Apply a little “back” pressure with your left hand on the rein - but ask the horse (with your crop and stance) to move forward. He’ll have little choice, if you’re persistent, than to bend his neck a little. That’s what you’re looking for: a little give. Release immediately. Skip this step and you’ll find that some horses will simply go straight up on their hindquarters (dragging you with them) as the training progresses. So, don’t.
Next step: Without your horse, look down at the ground and slowly spin around, being careful to keep your feet in relatively the same position. You should be simply turning around in the same spot like the center of a clock. Put your hands out like you’re conducting again, you’re baton, sorry, crop, in your right hand. Pretend a horse is there, traveling around you."
