All is well with the Duke of Palindrelli. I have not seen the cockeyed "bird look" again. I just hold different things at different heights and distances. He...
I'm working with Svala, a 5 year old icelandic mare. There is a lot of good stuff going on between Svala and me, but I have one trouble area and I don't know...
I may be way off according to Bill's book, but I will share with you some personal experience. For awhile we were buying for resale a few Morgan horses that...
Hi Tina, I've found that a lot of horses that have difficulty picking up their feet get better if they learn to prepare themselves to balance with the...
Hi Tina, We have several QH's, Arabian and 2 Icelandic mares, and I trim and handle all their feet a lot. I also notice that the Icelandics here need a...
Hi Tina! I have lately had same kind of experiences with my young mare. She has been sensitive about her hind feet all the time I have had her (1 year now),...
Now those horses are really good about the feet handling and aren't dangerous either. I think one of the things I like about this method is that it keeps your...
This just reminded me of something quite cool. Last August I broke my forearm badly, had surgery, etc. The healing process takes much longer when your over...
Hi, This year I just started bit in my horse's mouth. I used the example in Bill's book, as to how to do this without troubleing the horse to much... I have...

As a development from this conversation, and seeing that you are discussing it - I am riding a horse for a friend. When I started off with him he would fling...
Quite recently. I feel his problem is most likely associated with the fact that he has been subjected to pony club "he MUST be ridden in an 'outline', push him...
I've seen this before with a horse. He had a little wolf tooth stikking in his gum. Not visible to the eye, but you fellt it when you rubbed his gum. He was ok...
This guy has big wolf teeth already cut, and the bit doesn't touch them. I tried switching off all my cues, then coming back with them one by one. He wasn't...
If the horse has learned to relax or stop when you do (on the ground), he will pick it up pretty fast when you are on him. Maybe you should try to go back to...
Hi, Adeline and everyone else out there...... There is some mention of how problems with the bit are caused, and how people sometimes use "devices" to prevent...
A lot of this mail resonates with me. He would be the sometimes-very-flexible-sometimes-resistant sort. Thinking about it, if the bit was way too high, he...
