TRAINING ARTICLES

Types of Training philosophies.

I've seen way too many websites lately that have supposed 'trainers' and 'clinicians' writing articles/stories about how they 'beat stallions' until they 'submit'.... Teach horses to tie by using 'Heartgirths' (basically when they pull back they hit the ground)... Break 'unhandled' horses in just two days by using training techniques of pain and total exhaustion..... The list could go on-and-on.....

I have just one question: Who are the idiots sending these cruel rednecks horses to hurt????

I have ridden very hot colts and stallions on the race track, I have ridden some of the sourest 'rental horses' and trained them to be my 'guide horses', I have taken the 'junk' that these type of trainers ruin (then they're sent to auction... where I get them..) and turned most of them around.
I've trained horses since I was 16.. So that's now 16 years of a fairly consistant 'income' from doing this....

Guess what the 'secret to training' is that I've found out?

****Time, Patience, Consistancy, kindness, understanding, and following the basic training methods that have been used to 'start' dressage/war horses for over 1,000 years!!!****

Nothing I do is new. 'Western riding' is merely an imitation of Dressage - 'English riding' is merely just an bare-bones level of dressage.. The horse hasn't changed how it reacts to particular pressure points and stimuli - just which stimuli we use varies by sport.

I've decided to write my own series of articles on training and handling. I do train outside horses - but I WILL-NOT give you a 'quicky training course' of 30-60 days. I do it the proper, time-tested way that the masters used before me... I have proven myself in competition to start horses in both the english and western disciplens....

Books I highly recommend

As I've said: Nothing I do is New... Here is a list of quality books that I use and recommend:

'Dressage in Lightness' S. Loch
'The handbook of Riding' M. Gordon-Watson
'Reining' Al Dunning
'Trickonometry'
