Horse Trainer Uses Firm But Gentle Touch

Too many horses get away with all sorts of bad habits - simply because we let them AND we don't know how to stop them. We get used to them and put up with them....and we shouldn't because it's just bad behavior. Here's a nice little article from Michigan about a woman who was in just that position who used the services of an experienced horse trainer. She likes his even-tempered approach to training horses. "(He) just goes about it in a calmer manner and speaking the horse's language," she said.

The techniques he uses are very similar to those I read about in the Jesse Beery training books, and he uses the 'even tempered' approach used by John Pinnell, one of Australia's top horse trainers.
