Advancing the Horse at a World Class Standard

Vigilant – watchful, on the look out for possible danger.
Training and riding the vigilant horse is very challenging to say the least, more so if you are the third person to try.
I feel that the best horses are ruined because they are misunderstood vigilant horses. Because of their nervous, jumpy, spooky nature and seemingly unlimited energy, people tend to do these wrong things:
· Train with too much caution
· Train too long and too hard with no consistency
· Wear them down to a frazzle
· Force the wrong things on them
· Train while angry
· Cloud the issue and confuse the horse
· Not keeping cues divided and separate
I have a program that trains, calms and gentles the vigilant horse. I have 100% success.
There are no variations to the program and no lengthy milking the cow nonsense.
My program is thorough, in depth and complete. Each process part has its own place in a certain order and nothing can be left out, skipped or out of order. Each process part must be divided and clearly defined and separated.
Consistent – conforming to a regular pattern or style, unchanging, not contradictory.
Confidence – firm trust, a feeling of certainty, self-reliance, boldness.
I train with consistency. Training with consistency gives the horse confidence. Confidence creates a learning frame of mind. A learning frame of mind makes a teachable trainable horse.
With owners training their horses from books, clinics and videos, they are having great success and that is wonderful BUT at they same time, they are creating thousands of vigilant horses. This is a very old but now a very large and challenging market of horses.
One past day, I looked out over my yard and counted seven problem horses. They all had the same problems in common:
· High Head
· Snorty
· Stink Eyed
· Bucking
· Run Aways
· Blowing through the Shoulder
· Hard to Catch
· Indifferent
· Lacking Confidence
· Untrusting
· Afraid
· Pain
And they were all brought to me to fix……
It is hard to believe that you can take a horse like that and have him trusting you, loving you and learning in twelve rides, most cases less.
Well, I have fixed those horses and many others. I can fix your vigilant horse using my program.
