There are many ways to make a great horse. Just look at all the ideas on social media.
I have my ways and I continually am learning how to improve.
My ways may not be for you and that’s ok or they may be and that’s great also. I doesn’t matter what way you prefer, or what discipline you desire, or even how much experience you have. Everyone must follow the basic principles of horsemanship.
It all starts with you and your willingness to put yourself out there knowing you’ll suck at it at first. You must be willing to ask, “what am I doing wrong”.
Anyone can teach you how to sit a horse and what leg pressure to use, what bit is proper, collection and the list goes on.
But if you don’t have the right mind set and aren’t willing to let go of the saddle horn (so to speak) no method or ways will work.
Attend a clinic, experiment with your horse, challenge you and your horse. The only thing that holds you back is you.
I’m not a competitor anymore. I was and know what it takes to be competitive. But I like to help people over come obstacles that hold them back.
Fear is one of the main reasons that people hold back. I’ve experienced fear after a few wrecks and learned ways to battle back. I’m continuously helping my son overcome his fear to become a better rider.
Until you learn how to control your body movements, body language and your attitude you will have difficulties achieving success with your horse.
That’s my focus, not how to train your horse, but how to train yourself. The psychology of horsemanship is so fascinating. Especially when you realize it 90% of of horsemanship.
We have big plans for next year to help you with this…..take control of yourself so you can interact and influence your horse.
