Horse Trainig: Andrew Jackson thinking
111111122222223333333444444455555556666666
Did you know our former President
Andrew Jackson didn't know whether the earth
was round or flat?
That may sound amusing, but at the
time he was alive...they didn't have a way
to prove, without a doubt, if the earth was
round or flat.
Eventually it was proven. Proof is
a good thing - it feels good to know something
is the way it is.
Horses, too, need proof to believe
something.
You'll often see a horse not want
to be caught by his owner despite being fed
and petted by him.
Why?
Depends.
A big reason is feeling mistreated-
such as a lack of praise for a job well done.
Yes there are those who expect a lot
from a horse and don't feel the need to praise
them for good work and good choices.
I, on the other hand, don't go by that
philosophy.
Whether human or horse, the entity is
deserving of a pat on the back (sorta speak)
when the job is well done.
It creates confidence. It creates a
bond. It morally forces the human or horse to
like you more.
I've been a manager of lots of employ-
ees. When they feel ignored or unappreciated,
their work isn't as productive.
Same with horses.
When you ask 'em to do something they're
not used to doing...or they don't understand
what you want...they can get nervous about it.
They just need a little reassurance they're
doin' okay. And when they do what you ask...make
a big deal out of it.
The Horse Trainer Owner's Manual reveals
a lot on horse instincts and how to apply it during
horse training for powerful results. This is just
one of them.
If you've purchased your own copy, I
trust you've been reading it. Your results should
outperform your old results if you've been using
the info.
See you tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Andy Curry

Hello Andy,
Love the tips! Speaking of praise, i have a 3 year old colt that i got when he was 16 months old and very wild. It didn't take long to foster a great relationship, so I became confused about my failure to teach him things that he would remember. I did everything that I had always done with all my other horses and no luck .Everyday would start out the same,back to square one . Well the other day I watched a show on grizzly bear training, and thought what the heck anything is possible. They used big gestures and overly exuberant praise, REALLY stressing the good boy. So I know it's weird but it worked!! Within 15 minutes I had him saddled and he was relaxed, I mean falling asleep relaxed. I still won't rush him any, but I now have a toe in the door that I didn't before. By the way it is a good thing that we live 40 miles out in the country because the would probably lock me away if anyone saw me working with him!!lol
With high regards, Terri Englehart
