I'm a horse trainer. A blog about the training and rehabilitation of the horses who have touched my life. Monday, February 2, 2009. Set your horse up to win. Why can't our horses win?

I'm a horse trainer. A blog about the training and rehabilitation of the horses who have touched my life. Saturday, March 7, 2009.

Now I think that the Parelli program has some great things going for it;. Enter human error:...

Once here, we had bigger challenges. His fe...He is...

I had to cut the halter off of her, and carefully removed the embedded pieces. The next day, it took me about an hour to get her to relax and just let me. My friends did some sleu...
