Training Tip: Respect Without Fear
You want your horse to respect you, but not fear you. If a horse is afraid of the person training him, he’ll spend more time worrying about the situation and trying to escape it than trying to figure out how to do the lesson. People are the exact same way. It’s nearly impossible to learn […]

Training Tip: A Good Stud Makes a Great Gelding
