Spooking Problems:

      If your horse does the following (or something similar), then you probably have a spooking problem you need to fix:  Horse is flighty, unpredictable, jumpy, scared of objects, sensitive to surroundings, bolting, scared of unusual sounds, reactive, a little freaky, fears things...etc.

Need More Confidence?:

     If the following describes how you feel, then you may have a confidence problem: Lost trust in your horse, aren't sure where to start, are intimidated by your horse, or are flat out scared to deal with your horse, scared about your horse spooking with you on him:

Horse won't load in the trailer?:

     If your horse won't load in the trailer, you likely have this problem:  Can't get your horse to load in a trailer and there are likely two reasons.  First, he needs to show you respect (See Disrespect Problems above).  Second, your horse needs to learn to be "sent" into the trailer or wherever else you want:

Herd bound (wants to be with other horses and won't listen to you):
(a.k.a. Buddy Sour)

      If your horse does the following, then your horse is likely herd bound: He doesn't want to leave other horses while you're trail riding, doesn't want to work him by himself, or fights you while trying to lead him away from other horses while riding.  (Also known as "Buddy Sour")

Bucking or Rearing:

         Do we "really" need to explain this?            

Getting the correct lead from your horse:

         If you have trouble getting your horse in the right lead, this might describe the problems you're having:  When trying to lope in a circle, your horse slows to a trot instead of staying in a lope,  your horse won't do flying lead changes, your horse is excessively bumpy while riding in a circle, your not sure if you're in the right lead:         

Poor Gait Transitions
 from a walk to a trot to a lope and vice versa):

      If you have trouble getting your horse to smoothly go from a walk to a trot to a lope and vice versa, this is for you. If your horse pins his ears before the transition, won't stay in the gait you asked for, won't lope, won't speed up, then you may have a gait transition problem. He's not smooth going from a walk to a trot to a lope and vice versa

Little time to work with your horse and you need to impact him as much as possible:

     If you find you're not able to work with or ride your horse more than 3-4 times per week, this will help keep him tuned up until you can get back to working with him.

Riding Techniques:
(To make your horse more responsive while riding him)

     If you have the time to ride your horse enough, then you may want to consider using the following to make your horse even more responsive, respectful, and balanced when you ride.  Discover how to float in the saddle, ride your horse between the reins, and more.

Whoa Problems:
(Horse won't stop when you ask)

    If you can't get your horse to stop when you want, or he keeps walking after you ask for the whoa, or his whoa isn't a "Stop...drop dead right now...don't move" kind of whoa, look at these items.

Neck Reining:

      Want to teach your horse to neck rein?  Imagine touching the rein to one side of his neck and he looks to where he's supposed to go and THEN goes that way.  It's easier to teach than you think it is.              

Spins and Sliding Stops:

        Teaching your horse to do sliding stops and amazing spins is fun and not as hard as you may think.  Once you show your horse how to do these, your horse will be the envy.  It's very cool!

Reining Techniques and Information:

          Reining is often called "Cowboy Dressage".  If you ever watched a reining horse move it is pure poetry in motion.  A reining horse is also said to be the ultimate broke horse.  Check into reining to see if it's for you.

            Maybe you just want to learn as many horse training techniques as possible because you just don't know where to start.  Rather than overwhelm you with everything we have, we have some recommendations for you.

                 Knowing how to start a horse is important if you're going to own one because your horse will have issues and you need to know what to do.  That so, the common practice is to "re-start" a horse to "plug the holes" in his training.  Thus, knowing how to start a horse is very valuable information.

Problem Solving:
              
               If your horse bites, bucks, kicks, rears, bolts, spooks, won't ride right, won't stop, pushes you around, gets in your space, acts bossy, and you just don't know what to do, here is some help.  When you see the amount of items available for this, don't be alarmed, look for your specific problem and decide which you need.

               Want to learn why horses do what they do or understand them better?  Want to know why they are like they are?  Want to understand their nature?  We'll be the farm you won't find a better guide to understanding horses than what we have for you.

                 Teaching a horse to give you his feet is nearly the ultimate in him trusting you because his feet are his defense - it's how he escapes danger.  This can be a scary thing to teach your horse because it can be dangerous but watch who we have on these amazing DVD's.  The explanations and how to's are incredible.

                  Most trainers agree that most horse owner's biggest mistake with horses is the horse they buy.  If you're serious about having a horse and you want to really do it right, then you must see this!

                   Imagine your horse doing tricks on command and people watching have no idea how you did it!  Teach him to laugh.  Nod "Yes" and "No".  Or how about teaching your horse to kneel so you don't have so far to step into the stirrup?  There's lots you can teach and it's easier than you'd think.

                     Next to buying the right horse, this is the next most important thing you can do with a horse.  Especially if you're older and/or not as experienced with horses, you can learn how to get them ready to ride and more manageable.  Get their respect so they more willingly do what you want, and so on.
