Ask and You Shall Receive

When you ride, consider what you are asking your horse and ask it in the softest way you know how. Listen intently. Speak little. Listen and Feel for the answer instead.

Every time you ask a horse to do anything for you it is a new conversation. Asking him to take a step is one conversation. Once that is done, the second step is a new conversation. Sometimes a single step is too much to ask and you may have to end the conversation with half a step or the beginning of the try to step. The horse is doing the very best he can. Take what he gives you. Hear what he gives you. Rephrase the question if he doesn't understand.

I seldom let the horse have the last word in any conversation no matter how brief. My last word is ALWAYS thank you.

Consider the Horse when you choose your Gear

Ahh… saddles. I love the look, the feel and the smell of the leather. I can sense the care and pride of the craftsman’s hand, but it is the peeerrrrrfffect feel and fit I am after. Not just for me, but for the horse.

Every time I tack up, I check the horse from stem to stern. When I dismount, I study my pad and the sweat on the horse's back like Holtzman studied the inkblot.

I want a bridle a horse is proud to wear. One who makes my horse say, "Look at me, this is lovely."

Finding the right bit is a must in my book. Imagine if you had to wear someone else’s boots and they hurt. So, I have my collection. It used to be that the snaffle was enough, now I know better.

I consider the horse first and foremost.
