Russ I think that ride you described was just wonderful. It takes lots of self control on the part of the human to go with a horse like that. And those rides...
I see it a little differently, and it is a question I have struggle with. The more I work with horses, I am beginning to realize how important that point is...

I have a friend who made the comment, when you are working around horses throw away your clocks and watches. Sometimes 2 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes passes...

On the mecates I've seen there usually is a sho fly or an extra knot with a tail hanging from the slobber strap on the right side which balances in part the...
Thought I would work a little on bringing up Freckles life this morning while mounted. So I decide that I would let him decide where he wanted to go, and I...
Russ, when you say, "While I do not want to have to tell him everything, he does have to listen to my requests," you don't call that imposing your will? Then...
It would seem to me that one could consider the use of fences and halters and leads as an imposition of our wills. But I hasten to add that as the gray hairs...

Howdy Russ, This is an interesting sentence you wrote: Freckles does not understand how to interact with feel while mounted, and I am struggling to present it...
... I've certainly seen plenty of riders think they are offering a feel to move out with life when the fact is they are offering a very *mixed* feel to the...
Bob, thanks for the insight. I see what you are saying. It is my issue, and always had been. The struggle is to understand the horse and being able to change...
Hi All, Mister Co-Moderator Here, Last Wednesday, I wrote: "Let's stay on the Questions About Feel section through the weekend, then bump to Questions about...
Rick, great job! That pretty red horse probably thought he'd come out of a long dark tunnel into the sunshine. I think I found a quote from the book that...
Howdy Russ, ... I guess I'll just say right out that I am sure that feel is there and it is all he has got to make the best of it, following another horse,...
Howdy, Got to ride yesterday and several things occured that seem to me as if they might be of value to share. PB is a horse that had a rough start in life. I...
hi russ in what way does freckles act when he was only acting with the patterns? are you talkinig about how a horse seems to distance themselves from the...
... You know Bob, you sure hit the nail on the head for me and my horse. I'm not much into roping or even cow work, but doing this kind of thing sure has...

Molly wrote, "scratch seems to have a 'distant feel' about half teh time- i have been doing the blending thing walking him, he is on a float, he is cking out...
... Russ, I agree with what Bob so thoughtfully took the time to express, which is there indeed is feel all the time.. Or else your horse would be dead. That...
Sorry about some of the disjointed responses. One days email got combined into one message, and I am still finding things I missed... The last line of the...
hi Lasalle; i read your post and was wondering why ol' russ was seemingly being so stubborn about this topic... seemed to be he had feel going and was talking...
... Hi Russ, In contrast to this last statement, Last Summer, Leslie was working with a horse that had quite a bit of disrespect built into him. Leslie got...

I want to share my experience with a type of "blending in" that I decided later wasn't the kind of thing I wanted to do. I had decided to try just letting Zebe...
... I've seen situations where a horse was very worried and to help the horse build confidence the rider was encouraged to let him do his own thing. For a...
Sharon, I think you're absolutely right. I don't think Bill intended us to spend much time just letting the horse go where he wants to. When I was riding...
