Horse Problems

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: September 2006

Hi Frank, Bonnie here from Warsaw Indiana.

We were at a clinic at Kandy's place, in Claypool. You worked on my horse Summer. I had my two daughters with me and we brought 3 of our horses for you to work with. Summer was the one who would not let you work with her, she shied away from being touched in the head. She also did not like to have her feet touched. My girls put to use what they'd learned at your clinic immediately, with all of our horses. Now listen to this.

My daughter Amy took her to the fair this year and Summer was a champ. Both had never been to a show or showed before so learned a lot. What was really a stunner was how Summer reacted to the people. Amy opened the door on her stall and let Summer look out and greet people. It was amazing to see how she let people pet her and play around her. She enjoyed watching people and enjoyed being petted. She learned to trust people and realized no one was going to hurt her.

While at the fair she was hurt when she pulled her head out of a bucket too fast and caught her eyelid on the buckets edge. She ended up with 9 stiches to put it back together. When we took her home and got ready to take out the stiches I was sure we would have to drug her or twitch her to get her to let us take them out.

Summer stood still and let us take out all the stitches without a problem. This is a complete turn around from the horse we knew. It is amazing that she has allowed so many people access and to see that she now trusts us enough to let us take out her stitches. The vet was sure she would have to be sedated, as was I. My husband wanted us to try anyway, by the way my daughter Amy was the one who took them out.

Just wanted to let you know one more horse has become a beloved pet.

Bonnie, Amy, Erika and Katie from Claypool, Indiana.
