Almost every day someone contacts me about a " problem horse." Often such
letters come from someone who had been warned by someone else about ridding
themselves of " that dangerous horse" or something similarly worded.
The links shown to the right are to letters from people who have had baffling horse
problems that they (and everyone they know), simply could not solve.
Do you have a similar horse problem? Look over the latest list of recent
horse problem letters and select any one of them to see if there's a
solution to your own horse training problem!
Several decades of working with innumerable problem horses has given me a wealth of experience that I am delighted to share with horse owners. It is for this very reason that I created a " Problem Solving Series" of videos to provide answers to the most vexing of horse training problems. Still, phone and email consulting consume a good part of my day. Throughout this growing list of horse problem letters you may well find the answers to your most difficult challenge if not, let me hear from you and I'll do my best to help you out!
Remember: Make the right thing easy and comfortable for the horse. Conversely, you must make the wrong thing difficult and perhaps even uncomfortable. Most importantly, have your plan and " ammunition" ready. You must react immediately when the unwanted behavior surfaces. If the horse hits the " brick wall" several times, he'll probably stop trying. Above all, be fair!
In the Spirit of the Horse,

Letters Of The Month: January 2006
Frank,
I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how happy we are about the training "we" have received from Bob Claymier using your technique and materials. We bought your Getting Started package so when we take our mare home we'll be all set up to continue with training. We are novice horse lovers and this has been an awesome experience with the Seven Step Program. I feel so much closer to our mare than I thought I would ever be.
Your program is terrifc and Bob Claymier is a great trainer using it.
Thanks so much.
Judy Brewster
I always look forward to the training DVD's each month. I watch them over and over because I always understand something better than I did before each time I review the lessons.
I have witnessed phenomenal improvements in my horses by applying Frank\'s methods. I have gained so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o much confidence in myself as well. I feel so much better prepared to handle many of the \"critical\" situations that I have encountered with my horses now and my fear in dealing with each situation has markedly declined.
I have become proactive instead of reactive and overactive. I have even learned to overcome the critcism that I have frequently received from other horse owners that do not understand the importance of building a strong foundation under your horse. They feel that it is too much work and not much fun. They just don\'t get it until they get hurt.
I just perservere and feel so empowered with Frank Bell on my side. I never new how magical and powerful it was to have a partership with another creature. My horses are actually happy to see me every day and happy to work along with me no matter what I ask of them. Now I wish I had delved into horsemanship years ago but I enjoy each day that I share with my horses.
Those days are so precious to me!!!!!!

" Change your horses mind when on the verge of 'melting down' like a child on the verge of a tantrum. Pull the horses mind away from that problem by distracting in the opposite direction."
