On Page 45, Bill's conclusion about "How I Learned About the Timing of the Feet" FROM THE BOOK: When those horses started to understand my feel and timing,...

... This is the part I have been struggling with. Here is Bill's quote that got me wondering. pp82, "Learning to follow a feel _in practice." "Sometimes a...
Russ, I have been reading the recent posts and nodding, um, hmm, ok, yup ... ... But is "watching" and "thinking" the same thing? I don't think so. Is a ...
Hi Rick, There's another couple of sentences on page 45 that I think fit real close to what you experienced with getting your horse to bring its head around....
Practical Application: Hi all, Daughter, Spouse and I, along with some dear friends, went to a horse show yesterday. It was a show outside of our normal...
Rick, I can tell you that even if your horse had slung his head into yours while your tongue was hanging out, he still would never have rendered you...
Yee Haw! Rick, I was grinning from ear -to-ear just reading about that ride of yours. Until I got to the part about your tongue hanging out and I thought...
Michael Jordan hung his tongue out when he jumped, and he jumped pretty good. So did you horse win you ribbon? One of my horses will take the time to show me...
Kaite wrote, "Exactly. It's that 99%-1% thing again. I could get both my horse and me in trouble if I interfere at the wrong time (like in the stride before...
... Then Russ wrote: But as you point out ... So do I. There is always (well, mostly) more than one way to do something, and sometimes the horse has a better...
Howdy Russ, Some good questions posed there in your post. The bottom line choice a horse needs to make maybe is to go along with us and our ideas and follow a...
Russ, I've thought about this exact issue ALOT. With my stallions things moved quite fluidly and quickly and so wanting to give choices could often end up in...
It is with great interest that I've been following this discussion about giving a horse a choice. Seems to me that Russ is right in many ways. horses have very...
Howdy All, Gale, that was some post... I am trying to get together with a horse this lady owns. She is something in the manner in which she can "be" around...

... How nice for your horse that you listen to her in that way! ... Melanie, it sounds to me like you're doing great. But one of the most important lessons I...

Hi Bob and all, I read your post and but could not help but wondering if might have gone a little smoother if the events were switched around. Now I don't...
Howdy Russ, ... You got me on this one, Russ. Along with being the farrier I am currently making a little money trying to help this horse (train her if you...
Hi Bob and all, I guess I was confused on how picking up the feet is not an issue, but blending in pp 301 and hooking on pp 329 seems to be. It sounded to me...
