Answer:
For Training an old horse, the Newsletters for the Month of October covered many issues you will encounter. An older horse will definately tell you what his fears, reluctances, his vices and his undeveloped areas are. Then it is up to you to replace the bad memories that are restricting his learning with good memories, and positive reinforcement so to speak. That repetition is the fastest way to overcome obstacles in older horses, their memory channels are deep, and patience & positive reinforcement work the best. Young horses, I am referring to the Very green youngsters, I can recommend Cherry Hills' Book: "Making Not Breaking" is an absolute necessity for your bed stand BEFORE you undertake a youngster. After you have read that, and I will recommend further videos, books that can further you & the youngster on the road to development in the discipline(s) that you are both game to pursue! Have a Good GO! every go! Bye, Best, Mary.
