Natural Horsemanship… Patients…The Fourth of 6 Keys To
Building A Life Long Partnership With Your Horse?

In Natural Horsemanship, being patient/tolerant means taking
the time do it right so you won't have to go back and do it
again and again.

Why do I call the fourth key patients when we are really
talking about time, because, if we loose patients we will
not spend the time it takes to get our horse through the
stages necessary for building a life long partnership.
Being patient is very important because it's going to
take time to build that partnership.

Let's talk a little about your horse and the time it's going
to take to get him from where he is at now to being a green
broke horse. Let's assume your horse has never been ridden
or ridden very little in terms of proper training or natural
horsemanship.

For a horse to feel comfortable having a person on his back
will take approximately 300 hours of riding. If you rode
your horse 1 hour a day five days a week then it would take
a little over a year to get 300 hours of riding time or a
little over a year for your horse to feel comfortable
having you on his back.

Let's say your not consistent with your riding time, maybe
you rode your horse 20 hours and then for what ever reason
you turned him out, then 6 months later you rode him 40
hours and turned him out again for another six months, then
started riding him again and put another 75 hours on him and
this continues until you have 300 hours, how old would he
be? If you started him as a 2 year old, he may be 4 or 5
years old or older before you had the 300 hours. The point
here is that the quicker you put the 300 hours on him the
quicker he will feel comfortable with you on his back. Being
patient is important and being persistent and consistent
will shorten the time it takes to accomplish your goals.

To take your horse from being a green broke horse to the
next level, and by that, I mean getting your horse from the
green broke phase to being a solid, safe and dependable
partner requires that you gain the necessary skills by going
through the different phases of natural horsemanship.

The time it takes to get your horse from the green broke
phase to being a solid, safe and dependable partner is
around 1,100 hours. I want you to keep in mind that you
will never really finish your horse because you will
continue to refine your horse for a lifetime.

We have talked about how long it takes a horse to go through
the different phases now we need to spend a little time on
the individual horseman.

So, how long does it take a person to be considered a good
rider? We will approach this question form the thought that
the rider is a green novice. It generally takes a green
novice about 1000 hours before being comfortable in a
saddle. You need to remember it's going to take time
for the rider to get used to the horse and how he moves,
thinks, acts and feels. The only way to get the feel of a
horse is through riding experience. The more riding a
novice does the better rider they will become.

Have you ever wondered how much time you should spend
working with your horse (Instead of working with your horse
why not think in terms of playing with your horse)?
Consider this, when it stops being fun for you or your
horse you're not playing anymore, it's become work and
probably time to stop. When you're playing with your horse,
you should think of it as working on yourself and playing
with your horse.

One other topic I would like to discuss with you is timing. We
spent a few minutes discussing playing with your horse and
when it's time to quit, equally important is your timing
when playing with your horse. Timing will probably be most
important to your horse. In your relationship with your
horse, it's very important to know when you should quit
doing what you are doing. It's not what you do with your
horse that counts; it's when you quit doing something that
counts.

An example, lets say you have asked your hose to do
something through a cue you have given him and he gives you
the slightest try, you should instantly quit giving him the
cue. You need to recognize that the horse tried no matter
how slight. It's your responsibility to have perfect timing
and stop what your doing when your horse tries.

When you are learning this skill, remember it's going to
take time to get perfect timing and you shouldn't get
discouraged, you will learn. At first, it will be
difficult, but as you learn to read your horse's body
language you will begin to perfect this skill.

Natural Horsemanship is about learning this skill, to be able
to recognize if your horse is trying to do what it is you are
asking him to do. Be careful not to reward the wrong response
or reward the horse for doing it with an attitude.

If your horse is attempting to do it correctly with the
right attitude and you are slow in rewarding him he will be
confused because he thought he tried. If your horse gets
no reward (relief) after trying, soon he will quit trying.

How long you do something with your horse is not as
important as to know when to quit doing it. Know when to
take away the pressure (to quit) is as important to the
technique as the technique itself.

Have fun with your horse(s)!

Approach…The Third of 6 Keys To Building A Life Long Partnership With Your Horse!

2005-04-08T15:02:00.000-07:00

In horse training or natural horsemanship, Approachis
nothing more than a technique or method used in helping your
horse to understand what it is you want him to do.

This Article is brought to you by Perfect Horse Gifts

I feel it's important to point out at this time that one of
the major reasons people fail to achieve excellence with
their horse is that they are not mentally, emotionally and
physically fit. The way to achieve this is by being
persistent and consistent in learning and practicing your
horse training / natural horsemanship skills. Remember,
It's not your horses fault, it's your responsibility to be
fit if you're to achieve success and excellence with your
horse.

In talking about Approach or techniques, we'll use some
examples to point out some approaches people take in
working with their horses, which are very different from
natural horsemanship.

Let's talk a little about longeing… Most people longe
their horses to exercise them, but let's look at what
happens when you do this. Your horse is going in
mindless circles usually circling to the left and will
certainly get stronger physically, but unfortunately, he
will also get mentally weaker because you are only
exercising his body and not his mind. It's important
to exercise both his body and mind.

Now let's look at lateral longeing. This is where we are
going to exercise both your horse's body and mind. First,
what are the differences between longeing and lateral
longeing?

In normal longeing, the person is only exercising the horse
to take off the edge so the horse will be easier to ride.
I think it's important to note that if your longeing your
horse 15 minutes to take off the edge eventually you will be
exercising him 30 minutes to take off the edge and as you
continue this regime he will become stronger and stronger
until you can no longer handle him.

In lateral longeing, you're looking to develop a
communication system with your horse along with exercising
his body and mind, which will cause your hose to be
emotionally collected. This communication system is built
around 6 yields… Your horse going forward, backward,
left, right, up or down. These 6 yields work into a series
of maneuvers, which will exercise your horses mind and body.
By being persistent and using the 6 yields you will help
your horse to be mentally collected and instead of
increasing the time it takes to get your horse under control
you will decrease the time each day. By using lateral
longeing you can help your horse to become mentally
collected in a shorter period of time.

Remember that horses can do only 6 things, but they can do
them in combination… Move forward, backward, left, right,
up and down. Your goal should be to get your horse to go
forward, backward and sideways whenever you ask him. If you
can do this, you will become the Alpha horse in his
society.

When you teach your horse to go backwards you are also
teaching him to stop. The better he backs up the better he
stops. When you teach him to go sideways, you are also
teaching him to steer left or right. When moving right or
left you are simply moving his hindquarters or front
quarters or moving them both at the same time to move
sideways. Most horsemen will tell you that the better a
horse backs up and goes sideways the better he will do
everything else.

Lateral longeing is different from normal longeing in that
you are exercising your horses mind with his body following
naturally causing your horse to yield to you mentally.

Let' take a quick look at Riding. What do most people do
after saddling and getting on their horse? They kick him to
go, rein him across the neck to turn and pull on him to
stop. Instead, why not get him mentally and emotionally
ready first? Why not put your horse through the 6 yields?
Yes, I know that takes some time, but is it worth it to you
and your horse to be emotionally and mentally fit before
you go riding?

After putting you horse through the 6 yields you're now
ready to mount. After you're mounted, it's time to ask your
horse to move forward. Instead of kicking him to go why not
ask him to move by giving him a cue?

For example, if you want to move your horse forward, put 2
or 3 cues together, put them in order and be consistent with
them and your horse will eventually respond to the cues.
An example of this would be to 1. Squeeze both cheeks of
your buttocks tightly. If that won't cause him to move
forward then progress to cue number 2. Genteelly squeeze
with your legs clear to your ankles and use a verbal cue
such as a cluck, kiss or smooch. If this still won't get
him moving forward then progress to cue number 3. Give your
horse a spank, preferably closer to the center of the tail
head. This will start your horse to move straight. If you
spank right or left of center, you will cause your horse to
move off to the left or right.

When using cues remember to start the cue with light
pressure and increasing the pressure, (the pressure should
only be for a few seconds before moving on to the next cue)
and if there is no response move on to the next cue until
you get the desired response. With practice and
consistency, your hose will learn to move off the pressure
(cue) at the slightest squeeze of your buttocks or legs,
whichever you decided to use as your cue.

This article is getting long so I will briefly touch on
stopping your horse. There are two ways to stop your horse,
pulling back on the reins which most people use (the horse
can get wise, tuck his chin and keep running) or you can
bend your horses neck around with one rein and cause him to
stop. If you can bend his neck to the right and stop his
right side then his left side is probably not going to run
off and vise versa.

I do not recommend letting or allowing your horse to stop on
his own; if you allow this behavior, you will eventually
have problems with keeping your horse moving. You only want
your horse to stop after preparing him with a cue to stop
and then giving him the cue to stop. A cue might be, you
bringing down your energy by putting both hands on your
thighs, completely relax and look down at your tummy, to sum
it up, quit riding. Eventually your horse figures out that
you have stopped riding and he will stop. Remember, you
have to be consistent and persistent, it is not going to
happen over night, but eventually your horse will figure out
the cues and you will get the desired response. One other
thing, make sure you keep your horse straight. This will
cause him to stop. Don't worry about him not stopping as
quickly as you like as long as he comes to a stop. As I
said before it takes time to get the desired response.

Good Luck and have fun with your horse(s)!

Mind Set... The Second of 6 Keys To Building A Life Long Partnership With Your Horse?

2005-03-30T12:47:00.000-08:00

This article is brought to you by
Perfect Horse Gifts

Your mind-set, approach and way of thinking (beliefs)
are critical to building trust and a lasting
relationship with your horse. Your mind-set is the
first thing you must scrutinize and work to understand
in developing skills in horsemanship.

People generally have one of two mind-sets when it
comes to getting a horse to do something. They either
have the mind-set that they are going to use force or
intimidate the horse to get him to do it or they use
the buddy up method of trying to sweet-talk their horse
into doing it. Both of these methods are hopeless,
you will not gain the trust nor respect your looking
for from your horse.

There is a third mind-set, one that will get the
results you're looking for in your horse. People that
fit into this mind set are not aggressive or
willy-nilly, but evenhanded, they lie somewhere
between the two extremes.

When working with your horse your mind-set is to be as
gentle and calm as you can, but as firm as needed.
It's important to keep in mind that while you're being
gentle, be gentle without being wimpy and when being
firm do so without being mean or mad.

The mind-set of a horseman should be to, *not* do
things to your horse, but rather to do things for and
with your horse. Be creative and think outside the box
when it comes to doing things with your horse.

The mind-set of a horseman should be that *principals*
are more important than purpose and that *adjusting*
to fit the situation is more important than rules.

Let's recap today's discussion on Mind-Set

1. Your mind-set is critical in developing trust and a
lasting relationship with your horse.
2. People generally fall into one of two mind-sets.
The first, they use force or intimidation to get what
they want out of the horse. The second uses the buddy
or sweet-talk method to try to get what they want from
the horse. Neither work.
3. There is a third mind-set, being evenhanded not
aggressive or will-nilly.
4. Horseman should do things for and with their horses
and not do things to them.
5. Be creative and think outside the box when doing
things with your horse.
6. Be gentle and calm with out being wimpy and
be as firm as necessary without getting mad or
mean.
7. Principals are more important than purpose and
adjusting to fit the situation is more important than
rules.

Understanding; The First In A Series of 6 Keys To Building A Life Long Partnership With Your Horse!

2005-03-19T15:26:00.000-08:00

This article is brought to you by... Perfect Horse Gifts

Author: Mike Gorzalka

Yesterday we talked a little about the 6 Keys for a Life
Long Partnership with your horse, today I would like to visit
with you about the first key, **Understanding.**
I would like to start by asking you a question. Have you ever
wondered why your horse acts like he does how he thinks and
moves? If so, then you need to understand the prey-predator
relationship, but before we start it's important that we
understand, if were going to effectively communicate with
horses we need to **think like horses.** We need to look at
and approach everything from the **horse's point of view**.

If we understand that horses are prey animals and that
**horses perceive people as predators** and realize that
each thinks differently, we can begin to understand how our
horses think, act and move, and why we react the way we do.
Both the horse and human are simply considering all factors
then adjusting to the situation.

Prey animals by nature are programmed to be cowards, they
are a herd, fear-flight animal, in other words when they
perceive danger they run and continue running until they
feel they have escaped danger.

To horses we *humans* look and smell like *predators.* If
were going to communicate with our horse in an effective
manner then it's necessary to prove to our horse that we are
not a predator. We need to understand what type of behavior
we need to show if we are to get a certain behavior from the
horse.

Once the horse accepts that we are not as bad as we seem and
we are not a predator he becomes gentle, in other words he
no longer perceives us to be dangerous.

In a herd of horses there is always a pecking order and once
our horse decides that we are not a danger to him he will
put us in a pecking order to fit into his world (remember
all of this is about the horse his world and perceptions not
yours) you will be placed higher or lower depending on
respect and authority.

**Remember the horse is a prey animal and is
supposed to act the way he does.** It's our task to
help him act less like a prey animal and more like a partner.
To accomplish this we need our horse to be sensitive or aware
of our cues and communication rather than danger. We need to
turn his flight from fear reaction into forward motion or
impulsion. We have to work at getting him to want to be with
us, to take the herd instinct and turn it into bonding with us.

The concepts we have discussed today are much easier said
than done. Why, because horses and humans think differently
and this is often a source of conflict.

Let's wrap up what we have discussed today. We will
gain respect from our horse if we uphold our
responsibilities which are: Not act like a predator, be
where we need to be emotionally when communicating with our
horse, to think like a horse and not a human and focus on
where we are headed and what we want to do, if we do our
horse will sense this, respect us and follow us as the
leader.

Having Trouble Finding Horse Gifts for the Horse Lovers in Your Life?

2005-03-19T15:03:00.000-08:00

This article is brought to you by Perfect Horse Gifts

Author: Mike Gorzalka

Looking for an idea or two to help you find the perfect
horse gift for that special horse lover? Don't stress, we'll
try to help, but first we will need to put a little thought into it.

Do the horse lovers in your life enjoy or are they interested in;
horse pictures, art, figurines, collectables, models, t-shirts,
posters, coffee mugs, clocks, calendars, magazines, books, videos,
music cd's, games, jewelry, crystal, home decor, western and
english tack, western and equestrian apparel, boots, hats and
gift baskets. I bet if you think about it and do a little
research you can come up with a huge selection of horse gifts.
Think about it, there are literally thousands of gifts
waiting to be discovered and why shouldn't you be the one to
discover them. You'll find gifts for every age and every taste.

A great idea might be a horse gift basket, you could use an old
feed bucket or hat (your only limit here is your imagination) and
put one or two gifts into it. You might put tickets to a horse
show, rodeo or horse training event or if they enjoy riding, but
haven't the means to do so, take them horseback riding at a stable.

Use some of the suggestions we discussed earlier, a book, video,
game, picture, you've got the idea, and then top it off by filling
the feed bucket or hat with candy, cookies or whatever you think
they would enjoy. Use your imagination, you've got those creative
juices flowing, your on a roll, don't give up now.

Do the horse lovers in your life own their own horse(s)? If
so, they might enjoy getting tack, barn accessories home
décor or horse gifts related to these themes. Memories
are special and giving them a photo album of their horse(s)
or even a video of them riding or playing with their horse(s)
will always be appreciated as a special gift.

When choosing gifts for horse lovers, you really don't need
to know anything about horses! The age and interest of the
person you are buying for is most important.

Is Shopping Online For Your Horse Gifts Safe?

2005-03-19T14:52:00.000-08:00

This Article is brought to you by Perfect Horse Gifts

Author: Mike Gorzalka

Shopping for horse gifts or other gift items on the internet
is quick, convenient and is probably safer than you think.
However, you still need to be aware that it is essential to
vigorously protect your privacy and financial information
when making purchases online.

If you take the necessary precautions to protect
yourself when shopping for those special gifts for horse
lovers, it should be no riskier than buying by mail order or
over the phone.

To make your shopping experience a safe and happy one, the
Following suggestions may be of help:

1. When shopping, always be sure that the Web site is secure
before you provide any financial information, like your
bank account number or credit card information.

Secured Web sites will use encryption to scramble your
information when transmitted over the Internet.

There are a couple of ways for you to identify if a Web site
is secure.

a. A Web site address that is secure is preceded by
"https". For example,https//www.secure-site.com.The letter
*s* at the end of http indicates that Web site is secure.

b. Look for a yellow or golden closed lock or an unbroken
key at the bottom of your browser window.

Web sites may use other symbols to indicate their Web
site is secure, so if you don't see the two symbols
mentioned above continue to investigate and see if you can
locate other symbols or information indicating their Web
site is secure.

2. Still uncomfortable with providing your billing
information over the Internet? Then you might want to ask
the business you're shopping if they use alternate methods,
such as the telephone.

3. Whenever possible, it is recommended paying by credit
card; this will offer you added protection if a dispute
should arise.

4. If you prefer not paying by credit card, request that
your purchase be sent C.O.D. You can make your payment by
check or money order, this is easier to trace than cash. It
is probably a good idea that you never pay in cash for
obvious reasons.

5. Some businesses display the Better Business Bureau logo
on their Web Site, others do not. If you're not feeling at
ease, consider checking with the Better Business Bureau for
a reliability report. The report will include such
information as; the length of time the company has been in
business, the company's complaint history and whether
the business participates in BBB programs, such as dispute
mediation.

6. If you shop online auctions, be sure you exercise the
same good sense you use for your other transactions. Do your
homework. Check the "feedback" areas of online auction
sites; most of the time they are a good source for getting
information about other buyers' who have purchased from the
