Download: An End to Rearing!

Hi {!firstname_fix}!

You'll be receiving your next issue of my horse-training newsletter in the next few days - but here's a heads up:

My downloadable book, "When Your Horse Rears: How to Stop It" is now available!

With this guide, you will teach your horse to:

• Keep his feet on the ground!
• Deal (well) with increased pressure
• Pick up the correct leads
• Move his hips independently
• Drop his head immediately

You can't make your horse stop rearing with a "bigger, badder bit." You've got to retrain the brain. This downloadable book shows you the steps you must take to put an end to this scary and very dangerous habit:

• Greatly improve your ground control
• Get your horse amazingly soft on the bit
• Greatly improve your brakes
• Follow easy, step-by-step exercises for lasting changes
• Cure a nightmare situation that could put you in the E.R.!

• As a BONUS: I've included "The Reins - 5 Ways to Improve Your Use," an additional chapter that gives you five tips guaranteed to transform your training - and make your friends at the barn sit back and take notice! This article normally carries a charge of $1.99 to print out - but is included here with this downloadable book for free. (You will find it automatically included in the same file, at the end.)

But wait, there's still more!

An extra EXTRA bonus...

Purchase a copy of "When Your Horse Rears" today - and I'll also throw in a free printout of another very popular article called "How to Pick Up Your Reins Like a Pro." Based on all the riding and training clinics I've conducted, I truly believe that this article contains "the fastest way on the planet to radically change the quality of your next ride." This particular article also typically carries a small charge to print - but is included here for free at the end of the single file you'll download.

(You can print many of my articles for free - but I do normally charge for a handful of them, including the particular selections listed above.)

Here's a sample from "When Your Horse Rears," Day One. "Day One" was previously released as "The First Thing I Do" and printouts can also be purchased separately - see below.)

"When you've got yourself a rearing horse, you're going to want to start fixing the situation from the ground where you're obviously safer. And, being that a rearing horse is the very picture of "rigid resistance," you're going to want to tackle all that "stiffness" first. It's common sense. Could your horse stand up on two legs, scaring the devil out of you, if his muscles were, stem to stern, soft and relaxed? No, obviously not. Jelly fish farmers never, ever face this issue, so take note. A large part of his body grows stiff and rebellious as he rears and so our solution is first found by actively working to soften - and keep softened - both small and large sections of the horse. We begin by seeking out and "pounding out" the stiff muscles we find. We take away and keep away this rigidity, and go a long way to solving our problem.

Beyond the actual danger inherent in the situation, there's also the fact that a horse resisting to the point of actually throwing himself up in the air is never going to carry out any maneuver with grace or beauty. That makes for a lot of time in the saddle spent fighting (or just trying to survive) when you could be performing sweet sliding stops or beautiful lead changes or even just going down the trail peacefully with your friends. No, instead, your horse spends his time tensing up and resisting - and that's exactly how he looks and moves: tense and locked up. In the same way that you can't play the saxophone if your arm is held rigid, your horse isn't going to round up, collect, and travel gracefully when he's consciously keeping his neck or hind section stiff. Fixes found here then, in these pages, will also help improve our horse's overall athleticism and way of going - and that's a win times ten...."

Reins: Tips for Better Riding

Here's a sample from the 2nd bonus article "How to Pick Up Your Reins Like a Pro." (A free print out is included with the downloadable book "When Your Horse Rears.")

"Here's the fastest way on the planet to radically change the quality of your next ride. We're talking night vs. day forever-lasting results with maybe an hour's worth of practice. But wait - there's more! Besides improving your everyday training, there's an added benefit: Much improved safety. Practicing the nuts and bots of "rein handling" in the quiet of an evening, spending long enough to build a bit of "muscle memory," will go a long way to helping you out the next time you get out on the trail and your horse wigs out. A lot of our riding fear comes from not knowing "what to do if." People get scared, they panic and grab up the reins. They freeze with six billion pounds of pressure on the horse's face. Frozen hands cork up all that horse energy, trap a prey animal - and beg for an explosion. Instead, for safety sake, drill this stuff into your brain until the movements become second nature. Your natural reaction will then be to keep your horse flowing, thereby dissipating his "negative" energy. And you'll boost your confidence quicker than you can say 'They billed me how much for the ambulance?'

"Horses toss their heads, get stiff through the neck and grumpy, slide in their training and just plain hate the site of the riding arena because of... your hands. Want to learn the fastest way to improve your training? Improve the way you handle your reins. We're talking the way you pick them up, how long you hold them, how much pressure you apply and how you release. When you attend one of my clinics and walk away thinking I walk on water at the end of the following day, it's simply because I've hammered you on the proper way to pick up and release those reins. Over and over and over because that's where we'll see the quickest improvement...."
