Horse Training: Can your horse climb stairs?

111111122222223333333444444455555556666666

Back in "them thar days" fire houses
had the fire engines pulled by horses because
they didn't have the gas engine developed yet.

The firemen stayed on the second floor.
When the alarm sounded, the firmen raced downward
to the fire on a stairway.

But did you know the "circular stair-
way" came from back in those days?

You'll be shocked why.

When they had straight staircases
the horses figured out how to walk up to the
top.

Can you imagine being asleep in your
firehouse bed, opening your eyes, and seeing
a big 'ol horse staring you in the eyes?

So, that's why they went to circular
staircases. Horses can't climb those.

That just goes to show you that you
can do remarkable things with a horse because
a horse can do remarkable things.

If you have ever experienced frustra-
tion while training or riding a horse just
know that you can solve it.

After all, if horses can figure out
how to climb a staircase, they can be taught
all kinds of things.

Here's a trick you can teach your
horse.

Teach a horse to get a handkerchief
from your pocket.

Here's how.

Lay a handkerchief in your hand and put
a few cut up apples or pieces of sweet feed on it.
Allow the horse to eat the food. He will naturally
get a hold of the handkerchief.

After he gets eager for the food you can
raise your hand with the handkerchief and food to
your upper torso and slightly under your jacket or
coat.

Now that he's learned you want him to take
hold of the cloth, you may put it under your jacket
without the food. And when he takes it out, you
may give him some food out of your hand.

In a short time he will root his nose under
your coat back under your arm to find it in antici-
pation of his reward. Now that he understands what
you want him to do, a carress will do as a reward and
he will soon do what you want when you say...

"Find it."

Cool, huh?!!

(My only warning is: "Be careful". I don't
want you to feed an overzealous horse and maybe
get hurt or bit. It's entirely at your discretion.)

There are lots of tricks you can teach a
horse. Many are kindergarten simple yet amaze the
onlookers.

This trick I just taught you is from Jesse
Beery's info. It comes as a bonus with the Horse
Training Guide. (See below)

See you tomorrow.
