"Ever seen an english seminar trainer that has videos? I haven't."

I Have!!!!! I used to get dressage magazines and they had them in it. I think you can find some at the Dressage Extensions web site.

About 6 months ago I spent about $14 on a small book with lots of pics of dogs and captions. It was very funny, but was only about 20 pages long. If you could turn out something similar with those good horse shots you do, then you would be on to a winner!

Refusal to load is a really frustrating problem. I've been there, and made some of my worst mistakes there. With Bay as a matter of fact, when Bob had him, and he had a small older two horse trailer. Bay hated going in there. It was old, and dark, and too small for him. The more we begged and pleaded with him, the more we tried to force him, the more he ended up hurting himself.

I wonder, with the advent and popularity of nice bright slant loads, with nice wide doorways where you can lead them in and it's not quite so constricted, if horses generally have fewer issues about loading than they did 20 years ago.

There was a horse that a guy at my dad's work bought, that would not go into a horse trailer. They tried to force him in and he would not go. The bad thing was they had the trailer in a spot where the horse could not even see into the trailer!! I don't know if that horse had ever been in anything but a cattle trailer, since he was a mustang, but I am glad that my dad told me what they did and I didn't see it.

No scanner, but I tried this.

I tried Jenny's but the glare always comes out right on Rocky.

Dressage Connection and Dressage Unlimited are 2 shows on RFDTV and I think they have videos to purchase.

www.chris-cox.com
www.craigcameron.com

I think both of these guys have videos for sale.

I don't think it's too late to use Stinger.You might want to have a custom applicator spray it on for you.Stinger is really expensive and I don't know what the minimum amount is that you can buy.We have bought it by the gallon,but a gallon does about 18 acres if I remember correctly.The last time I bought Stinger it cost us about 600.00 a gallon.I don't have any left-if I did I would send you enough to do the pasture.

I didn't know that horses have to be taught just to go forward.
My former trainer had a colt that she bred out of a mare. The hardest thing to teach that horse was to move from a halt to walk under saddle. He'd just look around at her very confused.

I think that John Lyon's is a fraud. I enjoyed your rant, and agree with it 100%.

I saw Zip at the Equine Affaire in Springfeild about 10 or so years ago. I remember that he was in harness. The demonstration that John was doing was a horse with "agression issues" Of course, you never got to see how agressive the horse actually was. Later Zip was in the "Symphony of Horses" show.

"It's so funny, how farmers, and country people are looked down on some by city people, but the city people sure like country entertainment:) Makes you wonder just who does have the most brains. "

Reminds me of a Chris Ledoux song :)

Indians used to break horses from rearing up by breaking a bottle of liquid over their head. Bob hits them between the ears with a riding crop if he's mounted, on the ground he hits their front legs on the cannon bone area with a lungeing whip.
