"Four Things You Need to Train Your Horse," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the Young Horse Training Series:
"Training a horse is pretty simple. It's four things: motivator, spot, direction, reward. That's all training a horse is. First, motivation. Do you have a job? What if I asked you to quit your job? What if I said I was going to hire you and give you two bucks an hour. Would you do it? Working with a horse is very similar. You're asking the horse to quit his job and come work for you. His job as you begin training is to get out of that arena as fast as he can, or to get back to that stall or to a buddy horse or find food. They have all kinds of jobs – and their jobs keep changing.
Our job is to create a motivator that causes the horse to quit his job and come work for us. Quit trying to get out of the gate; quit trying to get to the other horse. Quit trying to pick up your left lead and come work for me. Some horses you can hire for two bucks an hour and some will cost you forty. That's just the way it happens. Some horses you really gotta motivate; you gotta say, "No, I really want you to come work for me.""

Stop Bucking Study Course
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 5:
"Fix your horse by first taking a step back and thinking about what’s happening. First, as discussed previously, every horse that’s “still bucking” probably got rushed through its training, however innocently, so let’s just accept the fact that what we’re really doing is going back and repairing something we may not even think is broken. (Whew) But what? What are we missing?
Consider the horse that bites today for the first time. He didn’t “just bite me out of the blue.” That horse told us last week with his pinned ears that he was going to bite. He just didn’t say when. We should have picked up on those pinned ears and done something immediately. Same for the bucking horse. More often than not they’ll telegraph their plans days or weeks in advance. We’ve just got to get better at picking up the signal - or at running tests designed to amplify the signal."
