Hi larry, I always injoy your news letters. Fred
Send the horse to trainer.
My quarterhorse-paint mare is 8 years old. She is very personable but not trained for riding. She has never been ridden and is extremely barn sour. She’s halter broke and leads OK but can be flighty. She’s well behaved when the farrier works on her feet. Where do I start?
Thank you.

ground work, ground work, ground work… sack the horse out after she knows how to lung and behave her self. then start with saddle and bridle and more ground work. when you send the horse to the trainer make sure she knows how to stand to be saddled and does not fight the bit… makes it a lot easyer on the trainers part if they dont have to teach the horse manners on the ground. keep her feet moving when she is close to the barn then let her rest a ways away from the barn so she knows when its work time she has to work and forget about the barn and its a lot less work to be near the barn. just my personal opinion…. sorry if my spelling isnt very good lol

Hi Larry,
Just read your letters and watched a few of your videos and really enjoy everything you have to say. Everything is very clear so i would like to purchase and watch some DVDs but am not sure where to start.
I am basically a trail rider who wants to go further. I start my own horses and all of my horses are very respectful and i’m pretty comfortable with laying a good foundation. For trail riding. I have no idea how to train for collection and would like to learn more about training reining horses. I’m thinking the western know how dvd would be a good start? I could definitely learn better posture and equitation. I have a very good one hand on the rein lazy slouchy riding position!! LOL What order of Dvds do you recommend for someone like me?
Thank you
