- Hi Wendy, what's happening? How's it going with Ben, I haven't heard from you since the doppy "trainer" jumped off. I've been trying to download some video of some work I'm currently doing on a youngster here, but I don't seem to be able to make the bloody thing work!!! It's much easier to go out in the paddock and beat yourself with sticks!! Anyway, I'll keep pluging away at it. Getting back to Ben, don't be down on yourself about it , she sounds like a tosser. You just keep doing that ground work . Have you put any weight on his back yet? I.E. leaning across from either side( no saddle). This one I've got at the moment came from a "breaker" , as soon as the owner went to get on it bucked like a rodeo! No mouth, I've spent the last week mouthing it ( on long reins) got on and rode around yesterday , just walking, she was fine, just a little roundness to start with . Well , best I get back to the fencing I was doing , have to have something to show for the end of the day . Looking forward to hearing from you , Cheers Geoffrey

- Hi Wendy, How's things going with Ben? Have you had much oppertunity to do anything? We have an interesting horse here at the moment , he has huge seperation issues. Took me an hour and a half to get him to stand still for longer than 30secs. He is getting so stressed it looks like he is tying up. Doing the whole strech and try to wee thing. Had the vet to him today as I thought it might be a kidney thing and the vet found a 10c peice size marble in his sheath!! No wonder he was stressed! Not a marble , marble, it's a conglomerate of sweat and dirt and urine and skin, not that common. Took a urine and blood sample to make sure. So, we wait and see. Have a big show to get ready for on the 4th . The Royal Adalaide Show , I posted some pics from last year on my page. Cheers Geoffrey

- TECHIQUE FOR GO; Lightly increase the lead preasure in the forward direction. if no immediate response, increase the preasure as you also use whip-taps on the shoulder. This is easier to do if you are facing the horse, so you have to walk backwards. Maintain both pressures until the horse makes an attempt to step forward, so you are rewarding a basic attempt , Then try again from the lead preasure only as you walk backwards. TECHNQUE FOR STOP; After you have walked backwards for 5-10m ,Stop the horse by applying preasure through the lead backwards towards the horses throat, Increase the pressure until the horse's feet stop moving. Release immedaitely as the forelegs stop. Do not be fooled into thinking your horse leads well just because he chooses to follow you some places. The real test of leading is shown by his unconditional reaction to lead to rein pressure- he will go anywhere at anytime. Some people emphasise the need to 'gain respect' from a horse on the ground. These notions of 'respect' are humanistic terms and are not helpful for retraining problem behaviours in horses. It is more helpful and safer for horse trainer and owners to focus on 'having respect' for how the horse learns ( instincts and learned habits) than to focus on 'seeking respect' from the horse. For example when a horse is barging into your space, nudging into you, rubbing, or puching onto you or steping on you toes, think not about a lack of respect or about an issue of pecking order dominance- even though it may appear that way to us. Instead, remind youself that the horse has learned these habits through rewards he has found. Therefore these habits are a clear sign of the horse's lack of basic training in Hand - from every person that has handled that horse in the past. So Wendy, remember to ask yourself "What am I doing, or not doing to reward this behaviour?" You will find the heart of most problems this way. I hope that's a bit clearer as to the why's and how's, have fun be safe. Cheers Geoffrey

- good job Wendy, before you lunge him do the Stop and Go exersises as well, apply pressure through the lead and release for a basic attempt at a step. Same with Stop. i'M VERY GLAD TO HEAR YOUR CONVIDENCE IS COMING BACK . Cheers Geoffrey
