I’m not here to fix your horse. I’m not here to help you fix your horse. I’m not here to help you get a job done with your horse. I am here to help you change yourself and learn to become more effective at discerning what you should be asking of your horse. Only then can you begin to build a relationship that encourages him to start to trust your judgment. When this is in place the need for fixing doesn’t exist.

You will then start to realize:

• Things like desensitizing and redirecting don’t work.

• That running a horse in too many mindless circles is in fact a control strategy used which eliminates allowing the horse to have a choice.

• That disengaging the hindquarters is a skill necessary to potentially save your life but one that teaches the horse nothing and when done too often takes away his dignity.

• That bending and flexing 99% of the time takes away from straightness and balance.

• That straightness and balance give back to the horse instead of taking away.

• That straightness and balance mean the world to him.

• That there is only black or white not right or wrong.

• That gray creates confusion for the horse.

• That the horse has no ego and neither should you when working with him.

• That everything is connected and the same.

• That you must trust your horse AND yourself.

• That you must have faith that the horse will give you back 100 times more than you ever imagined when you earn the right for him to trust your judgment.
