Mr. Rawles;
Greetings from a new fan. On the subject of horses, I can recommend the video from Pat Parelli titled The Seven Games. I have ridden horses for years but when I bought my own horse I got a few Parelli lessons from the owner. It completely changed 30 years horsemanship almost overnight. My horse is my friend now and much easier to train since I know how to communicate with him. The cd’s and the Parelli method is great.
Yes, horses do require your time they are not an ATV that can be parked and left behind. They are not for everyone, but they can do things that an ATV can never do. Keep up the good work. – Rodney W.
JWR Replies: Thanks for that recommendation. And by the way, a friend recommended the Mike Bridges horse training clinics. Mike is not the best known clinician but he’s one of the best teachers and horsemen in the nation. He’s based in Halfway, Oregon, but does clinics all around the country.
