Wisdom Wednesday

Wisdom Wednesday: Draw reins, tie downs, martingales etc... are gimmicks that just stick a bandage over the problem. A wound does not heal faster just because you apply more bandages to the cut. Learn how to better understand horse mechanics and function to fix the true issue and stop using gimmicks, not only will it improve your skills and knowledge, your horse will thank you. Remember it is more fun to be a rider than just a passenger. - Steve Kutie

Tech Tip Tuesday

Tech Tip Tuesday: When it comes to training there is no right or wrong in terms of technique. Training has to be what works for you, and what your horse understands. Training is all about consistency and always asking the question the same every time, and rewarding him for trying or giving the correct answer. If you teach your horse to pick up the left lead by pulling on his left ear, and you are consistent with your aids and your horse responds willing, that is training, it's just not very marketable or practical, but it is training.
