WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT - MIND OR BODY?

Ross Jacobs

Training

When I was an undergraduate, I attended a country university in northern NSW. I lived in a farmhouse on 22 acres about 15km from the university. I had one horse named Luke, a Percheron/Arab gelding. Each month, I attended the local show jumping club in town with Luke for some friendly competition and training days.

Today I want to talk about halters. I read a blog stating their view of rope halters versus web halters, and I disagreed with it so much that I feel compelled to bore you with my take on the subject.

THE ROAD TO BEING A HORSEMAN

Horsemanship

When a person gets the itch to have a horse and learn about horses and how to ride, the first thing they do is take riding lessons. They are excited to learn how to saddle a horse, mount a horse, hold the reins, sit correctly, and make it go, turn, and stop.

THE POWER OF THE INSIDE REIN

The ability of a horse to soften in response to a feel from the inside rein is arguably one of the most powerful tools in the training of a horse.

REASONED BELIEFS

I believe it is the duty of every horse person to ask “why”.

EVERY DECISION IS AN EMOTIONAL ONE

Ross Jacobs

Training

Every decision a horse makes is driven by emotion. That means every behaviour is driven by emotion.
