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, "Get On Your Horse: Curing Your Mounting Problems" is now available!   This is a do-it-yourself manual that puts an end to your "mounting block blues," with detailed lessons geared to putting you back in charge and teaching your horse to stand rock solid. (There's even a quick lesson covering lungeing how-to.) Written by John Lyons Trainer Keith Hosman, (that's me) you can print this course from home and be outside training in 10 minutes!   "Get On Your Horse: Curing Mounting Problems" is broken down into five "Days" or sessions:   - Day 1: Day 1: You'll get R-E-S-P-E-C-T with "Whoever Moves First Loses" - Day 2: Move your horse back to the mounting block - and amaze your friends - when you teach your horse to sidepass to you on the ground - Day 3: Channel your horse's unwanted movements into productive training as "Moving Becomes Our Idea" (Includes mini-lesson: How to lunge your horse) - Day 4: Work from the saddle to lock in your "standing order" - Day 5: Day 5: Without realizing it, the way we use the reins often causes many aggravating issues. Here we learn five tips to improve our rein-handling - and take a giant step toward a happier partnership with our horse. - Plus, a BONUS: I've included "Cinchy Horses," an additional chapter that shows you how to deal with horses that turn into true rascals at "tack up time" with their gnashing teeth, thrashing tails and stomping feet.

Gain (or Regain) Control

Here's a sample from "Get On Your Horse," Day One. This article was previously released as "Whoever Moves First Loses" and printouts can also be purchased separately - see below.) "Beyond moving away as you prepare to mount up, has your horse picked up other annoying habits? Does he bang impatiently on the stall at feeding time? Or lead poorly or buck or bite or kick out during a speed transition or drop his head to eat grass or forget you exist when whinnying to his buddies or "get cinchy" or act the fool for the farrier...? Has your horse come to see you as underling? When the answer is "yes," know that while remedying this behavior certainly brings about positive results in a broad sense - it is a primary key to fixing the horse that moves off at the mounting block. "Today we begin by diagnosing just how much control we have versus what we think we have; wresting back control we might have unconsciously ceded, improving "manners" and advancing our training in general. Some of you will test your horses, they'll pass and you can move on to something else. I hazard to guess, however, that lots of you reading this will discover that a little tune up is necessary. And that is fine - either way - because what we'll additionally gain here is a base line, or a "place to start." Days from now you might use it to measure your advance; you might use it as your position to fall back to if we push too hard in our training. On any account, you'll be stating to the world that "from now on, things are going to be different." Read the entire article by following the link or by visiting Horsemanship101.com/Articles.

Reins: Tips for Better Riding

Here's a sample from the 2nd bonus article "Reins: 5 Tips for Better Training." (A free print out is included with the downloadable book "Get On Your Horse.") "We clinicians teach "handling of the reins" in a particular order and emphasize certain aspects because we repeatedly see a pattern of "universal truths" from one rider to the next. We see this and we see opportunities to make marked improvements fast. Students don't realize how much pressure they're applying, that they never release, that they're actually rewarding poor behavior, etc. They're mad, the horse is mad – and they pay me to put on a black and white striped shirt and blow a whistle. "Stop fighting; go to your respective corners." This stuff is simple – but there's a pattern to it, a flow and rhythm. If you're having issues with your horse – or just want to improve as a rider, give this material a whirl. You'll find five tips – each with "your handling of the reins" as their focal point – each guaranteed to make your friends at the barn wonder if you haven't inked a deal with the devil. This is the material I cover most often, the stuff I hit the hardest, the concepts I believe to be the most important, the undercurrent running through the rest of our training. While I won't specifically deal with the mechanics of handling your reins, ("Hold them like so") the material covered will change the way you think and so will ultimately effect the way you do hold, release, etc. Bottom line: You'll improve much faster if you first understand the "why" behind the "what, when and how."
