Does your horse react or respond? Why it matters
It's weird.
The 'possiblity' of something happening
to you vs. it actually happening seems scarier.
Not sure why that is.
Perhaps it's because our imaginations
run wild with the 'what if's'.
But did you know, horses are a lot
like this too?
Horses have a BIG imagination.
To see it, all you have to do is
watch their reaction when they see a plastic
bag rolling across the ground in front of them.
Years ago I was riding my horse behind
my house and she stopped.
She wouldn't go forward either - not for
all the hay in the world.
Funny thing is, I couldn't figure out
what was spookin' her.
I knew something was but I couldn't
see or hear a thing. Pretty typical. After
all, horses have way better hearing than we
do.
Plus, their sight is designed like
radar. It'll pick up little blips we miss.
Anyway, after I unsuccessfully tried
talkin' my horse into going forward, I got off.
I couldn't even get her to walk a
big circle around it.
And she wasn't about to go forward
or anywhere near the direction we 'were' going.
So I climbed off and walked her forward
with me.
There's something magical about that
at times.
You can walk in front of your horse
toward a spooky object and they'll often go
with you - albeit still scared.
Anyway, as we got closer I could hear
a sound but couldn't quite make it out.
We got a little closer and then I
could hear what sounded like wind - sort of.
Even closer, I discovered the headgate
was open the field was being irrigated.
The water rushing out from the canal to
the headgate was making a gushing sound.
That's what seized my horse's brain - the
sound of rushing water.
Funny thing is, I had to get a 100 feet
closer to it to even hear a faint sound from it.
She heard it WAY before I did.
And here's the thing.
You and I know it was just water. We
were able to reason that.
She didn't know what it was.
All she did was react.
Her imagination went wild because, in
her mind, 'Who knows what that sound was.'
She was mostly concerned it was coming
to get her.

Andy is about to release a horse training
DVD package never before seen by the public
called:
"Shape Your Dream Horse"
Now you can have a horse that's calmer, less
spooky, safer to ride, and is as easy to ride
as a Cadillac!
The contents of this package will show you
how to get your horse to turn, stop, back, move,
and glide on his feet like a dream.
To get your own copy, you must be on our
notification list now because only 175 copies
will be released - click the following to get
the updates as the package becomes available:
http://www.superstarsofhorsetraining.com/DreamHorse-Signup.htm
Why are we releasing this new package?
Because Andy is trying to raise money for his
son's college fund and needs to have a certain
amount by the end of October.
The money will be invested in an interest-bearing
account for his son with an attractive return - but
the money has to be in the account by Oct. 31. (Thus,
the Shape Your Dream Horse Package will be released in
early October)
Again, only 175 copies will be available because
the amount of information you will receive is over-
whelming at an amazing price.
Get your name on the notification list before
it closes!

Now one reason I told you this is to
demonstrate how in-tune horses are to noise.
They are also sensitive to movement - but
that's not my discussion today.
It's the noise thing I wanna hit for a
minute.
When we filmed Kenny Scott, he was showing
a very green horse at the beginning of the DVD.
Kenny said there are times the horse stops
and when he does, you have to urge him forward.
And here's the kicker.
If we have to urge him forward, we can
create a swat to the horse.
No,...we're not hitting him.
Rather, we're making a noise.
Remember my story about the headgate and
the canal and how horses are sensitive to noise?
You can use that as a tool to help work
with your horse.
As I said, horses respond to noise.
BUT!......
They 'react' to pain.
We want our horse to respond...not react.
A broke horse is a response.
A scared horse is a reaction.
Make sense?
It's one of those tricks you learn as you
keep working with horses and learn from others.
This particular one came from Kenny Scott
as I said earlier.
I urge you to read more about Kenny and his
methods if you haven't already.
Go to:
http://www.SuperStarsOfHorseTraining.com/Scott
Be careful when urging your horse forward
with noise.
If he's not used to it, you could get into
a wreck.
So follow the rule of doing as little as
you need to...but as much as it takes.
Adios until manana.
Sincerely,
Andy Curry
