Ebooks! Would you read one that contains all the nuggets of knowledge you have been missing in perfecting one of the most misunderstood simple skills in horsemanship?

I am working on an ebook, about how to get perfect leading in hand. It's a microcosm of your ability to teach a horse to ride, stand, tack up, or any other skill. This ebook will be the building block of some coming courses this year as a new venture different than my traveling training norm. If you had a 30 page ebook, with what you assume is very good content, what do you think it would be worth?

I need two Alpha testers to help me with some thoughts on flow, content, and possibly wording if they have experience in that. Let me know if you would be interested!

Please help me find my best friend a good home.
ISO home for a groundwork therapy horse with hundreds of hours of training. Suitable as a companion horse but has many other skill sets that would be wasted as a pasture ornament.
Great teacher for lunging
Great at leading off property through neighborhoods and on busy roads
Handles 4 lane highway noise and stays focused on work
Great at greeting kids and being attentive to their moods
Cuddly in a respecting your space sort of way when he builds relationship with you
Mirrors your mood giving you instant feedback on how emotionally healthy you are
Has had me on his back many times
Has physical and psychological capability of advancing as a riding horse with breeding for Dressage work

Located in Hugo, MN
Born in 2010
Have a picture of his original pedigree and registration as a Canadian Warmblood
Has been worked on by professional chiropractors, massage therapists, and equine surgeon
I do not want to get rid of him, but finances right now with some life changes is the reason

The main reason Razzio had a hard start and was gifted from owner to owner is because he had undiagnosed nerve damage in his back from an injury early in his life. He does not have full proprioception in his hind end. He is physically capable of doing everything a normal horse can but the injury made him spooky and reactive before I worked with him over the last 5 years.

As a trainer in many ways it feels like I am failing Razzio in trying to rehome him. He has so much to give and has the foundation and training to take someone else who is hurting a long way in healing like he did for me. I am rehoming him above auction meat buyer prices to ensure he goes to a good home and doesn’t end up somewhere bad. He is very safe on the ground, sound, easy keeper, with good feet. Handles all the routine maintenance well.

Our full story is in the comments, and also his full 5 year synopsis of training video is in the comments with minimal editing.

Reese is working on bit sensitivity today in preparation for selling! I am getting my work out in as well! Lots of pros to good ground driving like safety, confidence, desensitization to stuff behind him, and exercise!

So I am writing a post that I didn't think I would be writing any time soon. Because of an upcoming move I am needing to sell my favorite horse from the last 5 years. Razzio will offer you as much as you give him. If you work hard to try to be trustworthy, consistent, and calm, he will teach you how to be better on all of those. He can read people and kids better than most horses.

Main Details:
Located in Winnipeg, MB
2010 Warmblood Gelding born in Meadow Lake, SK
Oldenburg breeding from Sire Rubinero
At the breeder until 6
2 years of bouncing around a couple owners until he came to me
4 years of training with me
Lumber spine injury when he was 4-5 that did nerve damage leaving him reactive to stimulus above him and touching that area
Physically capable of bearing weight and sound as can based on the recommendation of an equine surgeon.
Capable of doing what he allows to be done
Loss of proprioception in the hind end
Will load with a process
Went from impossible with feet to great for the farrier
Can be bathed after you adjust his legs to the water
Will pony perfectly on a lead off a horse, bike, quad, or on foot over highway bridges, past construction equipment.
Finds his confidence in the person leading him including kids
Extremely careful with everything around him
I have been on his back, but not yet moved on to riding work consistently. Do not try to ride him! Unless you let me show you the process and continue his training.

Personality:
Razzio is super gentle and happy with one person, he really tries and remembers everything even a year later if you spent the time on it in the first place.
He remembers his whistle to come for food.
He remembers how to stop and stay even years after I taught it to him during join-up and free lunging
Very very smart, and super expressive
He is super honest with how you are doing, and will teach you ground work. If he doesn't do it right, you haven't communicated well. He will know more than you do about ground work and ground training unless you are a trainer :D

Capabilities:
He can free jump up to 3 ft pretty well
He can be let loose while you ride his best friend and follow
He has had two scratches in 5 years so super healthy
Very tough feet with good soles and little cracking

Cons:

He does have some stress if you put something right behind him so always wants to face people and sound
Most he will do is shy out his hind and and back away
He has pulled when tied before when other horses bolt.
I just stay near by so he knows I am close.
Will edit and add more later :D

Do you plan ahead a bunch!? My Clinic Schedule is coming together for this year! I am planning them all back to back so they are my main focus for those two months. I have so much for you all to learn, work on, and have fun with. I will bring my special touch to teaching so that you are riding more than sitting on a horse, and learning while doing more than watching everyone else do something.

Video Ad coming out soon along with details and description for each clinic! I hope you find something to fit you and your horse! Let me know if there are any other topics you would like covered! I would appreciate spreading the word and bringing your friends! Hoping for high value, close community, fun clinic culture.
