Do You Suffer From “Horse Training Information Overload”?
I received a letter from one of my readers (I’ll call her Jill)
who has been on my email list for over a year. She has
issues with her horses while riding outside of the round pen.
Jill is fairly new to horses and is still trying to figure things out.

Prof Jesse Beery – Horses: Creatures of Habit
Part of the secret to horse training is understanding how horses think and why they react the way they do to the things in their environment.
Take, for instance, the great strength a horse has. If a horse was fully aware of its own strength and he could reason, then he wouldn’t be able to be controlled by a voice command or reins. The horse would always know he could over power the handler whenever he wanted.
Over time I have gathered a list of horse idioms I’ve read or heard people use. So, I keep adding to list as I come across them.
Get the updated Horse Idioms and Sayings list on our site.
In rodeo competitions, the rider chases a calf. The horse zooms up next to the calf, and at the right moment, the cowboy slides off his horse, onto the calf, and the wrestling match begins.The horse is trained to do run up to and along side the calf so the cowboy can do his thing.
“It’s the Little Things”
Willard Marriott once said,
“It’s the little things that
make the big things possible.
Only close attention to the
fine details of any operation
makes the operation first class.”
“It’s Not Always Obvious What You Need”
As a kid growing up I had my hands into all
kinds of things. I loved learning and digging
into things to see how they worked.
(and still do!)
Unfortunately, I don’t see much of that in
many of today’s kids. Between computers, video
games, cell phones, MP3 players, etc….
well, they just don’t seem to work with
their hands near as much as we used to
when we didn’t have all that “stuff” to
entertain us.
“Horses And The Class Clown”
Did your graduating class have the
proverbial class clown?
Mine did.
He wasn’t serious about too many things – especially school.
In our Calculus class, the teacher would turn his back
to write on the chalk board. When he did, the class clown
would cough and sound like a 6 year old little girl coughing.
”7 Never Do’s With Your Horse”
Have you ever wished you could have a fast-path to
success with something you love doing?
I do.
I think the fast food industry and
microwaves have ruined us.
They’ve taught us we can have stuff
quickly without waiting too long.
We want what we want and we want it
now…thank you very much.
