Does your horse know what you’re asking?

So many times you watch a rider work there horse and you tilt
Your head and ask yourself “what is happening here?” (not judging just truly wondering)

I always wonder if I can’t figure out what the rider is asking, is the horse sure of what the rider is asking.

It’s so important that our horses understand our communication. And I’m not talking about our baby talk during morning feedings.

Is your horse locked on to you? Are you watching them and there cues of understanding? Horses learn from pressure and release. But it’s the release that is key! Letting the pressure off regardless of it being a pull or leg pressure or even a voice command, is how your horse will learn they have done the right thing. Then repeating the process and baby steps.

It seems simple but I can tell you that we get horses is a lot that have been trained but not communicated with and boy it takes so much more time and work to get them to understand that we need to be a team. I need my
Horses to want to work with me not for me. I want to create winners who love there job. And it starts at the very beginning of your contact with that horse. I’m by no means bashing other trainers. Often times just switching trainers may cause this in your horse. When I get a horse from Brian that he has really honed in on it takes a bit for them to accept me. Hope this sheds a little insight on our horses and our program.

SHOW ME YOUR HANDS

Some food for thought today. At our house we have a lot of passion for training top notch horses, so sometimes our dinner table discussions are fairly in depth. Our son brought up the topic of “cave man hands”.
As our riding progresses so should the dexterity in our hands. Being it on your reins, halter shank or just touching our horse. When I was learning how to train barrel horses I was thought to soften my forearm. Being a nurse and athlete I thought I could figure that out. Well it’s not easy as it sounds. I like to explain it to my kids and at my clinics to ride with an open soft hand. Pulling in a horse hard and from a loose rein is never really the answer and you will most likely find resistance. Riding with contact and an open soft hand won’t solve all your troubles but it will help build trust between you and your horse. 🐎

We are on the downhill side of the summer rodeo run. It’s no different than life, it has gone by so fast. I’m on a plane headed across the United States from where I left my horses in the west, to Ohio for my next youth race. At every race I give a talk after our grand entry, and as I sit here, I’m thinking about what message I want to deliver to the kids, I’m thinking about the goals I set before I started my summer rodeo run.

Have I reached them? No.

So my focus shifts to what I did accomplish. I have been able to season Money May and get her in the situations to gain the experience she needed, an experience level that can only be gained by being in the middle of it. She made 3 short go finals and hung with the seasoned rodeo horses. I am so proud of her, and what a blast she is to run down an alley. She doesn’t know we aren’t in the standings. She doesn’t know what my goals are. She just knows me, and she knows she loves to run.

Defeat is a word you are familiar with if you compete in any sport, and no one likes it, but I have learned it isn’t necessarily defeat when your best isn’t good enough that day. Your behavior after the game, away from the arena, courts, or the fields - is what truly shapes the lasting impression you leave on others.

This weekend, I’m getting to catch up with a young lady who a year ago was competing at my race. The same race last year, I am traveling to right now. A month after that, she was in an accident and now is in a wheelchair with the future of her ever being able to walk again undetermined. Her attitude and fight to work hard, and not give up is contagious and defeat is not an option.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the impact you can make on others, and I hope Emma knows what a great example she is for others, including myself... that no matter what life throws you, you don’t quit.

There is no such thing as defeat if you choose to not let it stop you from being the person you want to be. In competition, with horses, sports, or anywhere life takes you.
