Horsemen let me know what you think...

I'd like to hear comments from any horsemen on the site. If there are any besides me and death that is.

If there isn't I'd still like to hear what others think. I've finally took the time to write a page. It just took me 6 months to get around to it. More of what I know (or think I know) to come.

Who knows in another 6 months I might even set down and write up a plan. 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

thats pretty much how we do it. we use a couple tricks to make it a little easier but it all works the same lol.

some of the tricks are: what we call a belly rope, the infamous running w (we dont use the running part ;) ), and a trick called "sackin" the horse out. Do you find this valuable?

I got some other ways myself but I picked methods that wouldn't offend the folks sensitive to animal rights. It doesn't hurt the horse it just sounds bad. I'm a human rights kinda guy myself. I don't like to see people get hurt because I was too easy on a horse.

Like I said on the page I'm no professional but I know folks who are and I've trained my own. Breaking a horse to the shot is an old art that has very few practicle uses anymore but it is an art that I believe needs to be kept alive. Do you find this valuable?
