Sample Our Newsletter
"Biting Horses," from my FREE monthly newsletter

From the Biting Horse Series:

"How do you know the difference between a threat and an innocent stance? As you would expect, it's just common sense. A horse that's copping a bad attitude will couple his pinned ears with other facial features or body language that anyone (or thing) would recognize as a warning. Just look at the horse's features as a whole and simply ask yourself if you've been "dissed." Does he look mad, freeze up or otherwise look irritated? What's the little voice in your head say? Did you have any doubt the last time your mother got mad at you? Same thing."

Trailer Training Horses
A Downloadable Book

A sample from Day 1:

"Picture your lead rope attached to the top of a coconut tree the same height as your horse. Picture the top of that tree leaning away from you. Throughout today's exercise, you must be particularly careful to not allow your horse to pull and lean away from you like that tree. Most horses do this - usually as you finish a maneuver - and the remedy is always the same: Get them moving forward that instant, even if you're asking for them to "back" at the time, even if you thought you were done with the movement. They can never ever learn to "end" a movement by rocking back like that tree. They have to carry themselves in an up, forward position when they walk backward – otherwise they'll begin dragging themselves through it."
