(ContentDesk) August 2, 2004 -- Recently, an amazing 108 year old horse training guide was discovered in a used book store on a dusty shelf.
The book was written by Jesse Beery who was a renowned horse trainer from the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Beery explains, in remarkable detail, the exact methods to quickly train horses to not spook, pull wagons and buggies with ease, erase bad habits, trick training, and much more.There is a tendency to think horse training methods from the 1800's are not as good as today's training techniques.
That is not true.
In the 1800's people's lives depended on horses for transportation and making a living.
Thus, horses had to be so well trained there was no room for error.
Jesse Beery's book reveals these "no room for error" tips in this remarkable resource.Beery's book has been reproduced and copyrighted. The amount of copies available are extrememly limited.

There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to betting on the horses. Some people believe that it's impossible to profit in horse racing. Some believe that all you need to do is bet the favorites. Still, others believe that the only way to make money is to bet the huge long shots and pray for a miracle. All of these thoughts are false.
You can make money betting on horses, and you don't need to pick favorites all the time or bet on miracle finishes often.
Here is a juicy piece of information for you. The favorite wins the race (thoroughbred racing) about 33% of the time. Therefore, if you simply bet the favorite, you will be losing 67% of the time. Since favorites don't always pay too well, you would end up losing over the long run.
Still, money can be made betting on favorites. Each race is different. In some races, the favorite might be an even money favorite. In others, the favorite might be a 3-1 favorite.
How you bet is just as important...
The Top 3 Tricks Horse Owners Can Use To Unspoil A Barn Sour Horse
It's been weeks since you went riding. Now you have time to ride this afternoon and there ain't no one gonna stop you. Excited, you saddle up your horse and get on him. You get about 50 feet from the barn and your horse turns around and goes back ? and you can't stop him. Why? You have a barn spoiled horse.
This is a common scenario for novice horse owners.
Here are the top three tricks to solve the barn sour problem.
Teach your horse that you have control over him. Once your horse gets it in his mind that you can make him do what you want him to do, you have control over him and can thus make him leave the barn. One way to get control over him is to use a training technique called doubling.
When you double your horse you teach him you can control him.
It doesn't take long before your horse will know you can control him. Be careful when doubling though. If you do it too much at a time you can over do it. Your horse could get so sensitive to you...
Why Difficulties In Horse Training A Good Thing
I'll never forget one of the first horses I trained by myself.
I could not have picked a better horse to give me problems.This horse was slow to motivate.
He was very much his own "person" so to speak and was going to do what he pleased...at least...that's how it seemed.There are plenty of horses in this world that will move when you want them to move.
In fact, some horses can be so nervous it takes little effort to get them moving in the round pen.
In a way, they almost train themselves.When I was first training this horse he moved slowly and not very deliberately.
Teaching him to drive was very difficult because he just wasn't going to move for me.The first time I put a surcingle on him and attached the lines he had no more intention on moving forward than an elephant with no legs.The lesson I was teaching was to move forward.
When you want your horse to move then, obviously, you want him to move...not stand there.
