North America Horse Directory

"... giving into pressure while under pressure."

Strewn down either side of the path of least resistance to the Delightful Horse are the bodies of battered owners and the remains of dead horses beaten by magic wands and good intentions.

The high road is seldom straight and rarely easy but far simpler than the alternatives. We have a responsibility in life to make things better for our fellow man and the creatures around us. Why? To counteract the tipping of the scales by the people who just don't care. You are here. You care. You want to find a better way. The same old rhetoric isn't getting the job done. Too vague. Too philosophical. Too confusing. Too much running in a bullpen... (and the "not knowing when to stop!" LOL) Can't put those concepts into actions that actually help you get your horse from point A to point B.

No magic pixie dust. Just a new way to look at old problems and that part is no joke. Breakdown ANY trainer's technique (Parelli, Anderson, Lyons, Reis, Peters, Gurney, Cox, Shrake, Miller, etc., going back to Beery, Rarey, and Xenophon) and figure out what makes them tick and how they work. And then - build upon your new way of thinking. They are not better than you, and this is not rocket science. I'm not re-inventing the wheel. In fact, horses (dogs, cats, dolphins, kids, and spouses) have been around far longer than the wheel so what would be the point? I'm going to ride on all these big name trainer coat tails, and they won't even know it. Because isn't that the point? Working smarter and not harder? Finding a better way. We are humans, you know. We should have the higher intelligence and be able to do that. ;)
