A Place to be your best

It doesn’t matter if you compete or prefer spending time with your horse on a ranch or trail, you need to be able to steer him with your hands and feet. Being able to subtly guide your horse in the show pen will also help you mark higher scores, and it can help you feel safe when you’re doing a difficult maneuver. Â
Mark Johnson
Look at where your horse has come from in your training and where you would like to go. Plan out the kind of steps you need to reach your goals. If every ride could be a positive step in that direction, every ride should be a good one. Clarity and gradual progress is the key to helping your horse get the most out of your next ride.

Your horse’s trailering problems aren’t just frustrating – they can lead to accidents and injury for you and them. Â
Learn how to deal with refusals to load, scrambling in the trailer, as well as techniques to transport your horses safely every time.

How your horse sees the world may explain why he does what he does. The horse’s eyeball is the largest orb found in any land mammal and his large retina means that everything he sees is magnified. Up-close objects look 50% larger than they appear to you.

Quite simply put, the eyes show us where the attention is, and the attention shows us where the mind is. If we are standing to one side of the horse and we watch the eye, we can see when the pupil is back and towards us, or forward wit hthe focus being to the other side, away from us. If we are mounted and the horse is flexed laterally, we can see the same thing.
