Yes, I have a training binder, I guess that makes me a bit of a dork on top of everything else...<BR/><BR/>These days, I am reminded constantly that training a horse has so many comparisons to LIFE. It's all made up of steps. Some steps are smaller than others and sometimes that's the only step that can be taken. It's better than standing still with the hooves sunk in the dirt.Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-38220820152673866952008-06-25T10:59:00.000-06:002008-06-25T10:59:00.000-06:00mugwump, I tried to post a comment here, but it di...mugwump, I tried to post a comment here, but it didn't seem to take.

I have plenty of training books, and I really like them, and I still go to them when I'm having issues with a particular thing. Most of them don't break movements down as much as you do, and I really like the way you show us all the things you do BEFORE you ask for the movement. <BR/><BR/>If I had young western horses, I would be sending them to you :) Of course all I have are adult english horses, but it's the thought that counts, yeah?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, I must say your lead changes post was one of my favorites. I am going to try that with my mare at some point this summer, I think, after we establish a nice canter.manymisadventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269126419483167938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-13103093081786276572008-06-24T11:21:00.000-06:002008-06-24T11:21:00.000-06:00I found your blog through fugly - I love it!

You've also given me a lot of good places to start reading.<BR/><BR/>I really like when you break things down like with this post, and the lead changes one.
