But as I got to thinking about it, it comes with some responsibility too. I hope when I write something of what maybe I learned along the way it helps somebody with their own horses. But I also learned long time ago just cause something works for me don’t mean somebody else will be happy with it.

When I started out with horses there wasn’t much information as compared to now. No internet. Not many clinicians and the ones that were around were way out west. Now there’s lots of them. For the most part I think they all do a pretty good job. But there’s some that just do things that plain won’t work for me. Now, I didn’t say they don’t work, I said they don’t work for ME.

What I think you gotta do is try to get as much information as you can. Whether it’s a world famous clinician or an old hand down the road. Listen to what they have to say. Try a few things out. But most important is see how it works for YOU and YOUR HORSES. Pretty soon you’ll develop a style of your own that’s a combination of a lot of things.

And even though maybe something don’t work for you today keep it tucked in the back of your head. As you go along it might just be that magic something that your horse or your program needs to move along.

Hopefully I can help out here a bit and make something easier for someone or a horse somewhere. I sure enough take enough information so maybe I can pay it back a little bit. But most of all listen to them horses…they’ll teach you a whole lotta things that no human can.
