Sample Our Newsletter
"Scared of My Horse," from my FREE monthly newsletter
From the Ask a Horse Trainer Series:
"Your horse wants to eat, sleep and poop. "Bonding" has never been high on his list.
You can have a terrific relationship, but it takes respect – and respect must be earned. Begin by realizing that you're the one paying the bills. Your horse is certainly "not the boss of you." You keep your horse, giving him the very best of care, but in return he works for you and has a job to do. He'd be more than happy to sit on the couch in front of the TV, barking out orders for you to bring him pop and sandwiches – but it can't work like that. You have to go to work everyday; your horse has to go to work everyday. Typically horses work an hour or so daily while we slog through traffic before putting in our eight – so our equine friends, even those in full training, have a pretty good deal."

Stop Bucking Study Course
A Downloadable Book
A sample from Day 2:
"When you can get the disengagement using both hands (hand-over-hand as described) see if you can’t use one hand: bring it out to the side, out and around, then smoothly to your opposite shoulder. If you’re using primarily your left hand, you’d aim for your right shoulder. Your fist/arm will be making the shape of the Nike shoe swoosh.
If your horse threatens to rear, if you even feel those front feet wanting to leave the ground, you’re using too much pressure or pulling straight back (without first pulling out and to the side) or both. Get the horse moving forward and try another disengagement. Next time work with the horse, adjusting your pressure, timing and angle.
Print out “Hip-Shoulder-Shoulder Part 1: Solve Every Horse Problem,” plus H-S-S Part 2 and Part 3. You’ll find “how to disengage” covered in greater detail, specifically in part 2. (Part One concerns itself with theory, Part Three teaches your horse to back smoothly.) Perfecting Hip-Shoulder-Shoulder (through and including the backing portion) will put a great deal of control into your horse and have the bonus effect of giving you a nice stop, a smooth back up and the rudiments of collection."
