You never stop learning when it comes to horse training.
People bring their horses to me for training. I train the horse and I train the owner. Most people do not realize they need training too to be able to continue on with what I teach them and their horse. It can be a difficult thing to tell the owner they need training. It can be even more difficult to tell the owner that he or she is the main cause of their horse's problem.
The horse learns respect through conditioned responses by gentle pressure and release. The horse builds confidence and the owner builds confidence by getting the desired responses from his or her horse. The goal in training is to end up with a finished, well-trained, soft and supple horse.
The best way to continue to learn for me and my clients is to attend clinics, listen and learn from respected trainers. |
