Horse Training Voice Commands
To the uninitiated, voice commands for the horse are nothing more than words.
But to the horse they are only sounds.
Obviously, horses cannot speak our language.
Since they cannot speak our language we should think through what we say to them when we want certain responses from them.Take the word "whoa" for instance.
I have no doubt this is the most abused word in the human/horse language.
When the rider says "whoa" then the horse should know to stop.But the problem is this.
Often the word "whoa" is said when the rider wants the horse to slow down...not stop.
Before you know it, the rider has conditioned the horse to slow down at the word "whoa" instead of stopping.
Then the rider can't understand why the "stupid" horse won't stop when he says "whoa!".Telling your horse a command when you mean for it to do something else is lying to your horse.
You never lie to your horse because the results you get will...

Do You Make These Horse Training Mistakes Loading Your Horse Into A Trailer?
Mistake #1: "Here, Kitty Kitty..." Unless they have been educated, new horse owners often think a horse is like a cat or dog. They figure if they tap their thighs and say, "C'mon,...C'mon,...C'mon..." the horse'll will simply jump right in the trailer like a happy dog or cat.
Mistake #2: "Using Food As Bait" Putting hay, grain, apples, or whatever at the front of the trailer to tempt a horse to step in and eat almost never works. If it did, it would be a fluke. I've seen horses lean forward to try and eat the food but wouldn't step into the trailer if their life depended on it.
Mistake #3: "Forgetting To Hook The Trailer To The Truck" Don't forget to hitch the trailer to the truck before getting a horse to go in the trailer. If a horse steps into a trailer that moves around unforgivably, you will have a harder time getting that horse in later. He'll remember it - especially if this is the horse's first time.
Mistake #4: "The Classic Tug Of War" Here's...

How To Load A Horse Into A Trailer - Easy As Pie!
If there is an art to getting horses to load in a trailer, then this it.The first thing that must happen is communication between the horse and his handler.
The horse must understand what is required of him and the handler must make it easy to understand.Thus, you must start by getting the horse to move forward in either direction.
After a direction is established then get him moving in the opposite direction.
A round pen is excellent for this purpose.When the horse gets good at moving both directions then it's time to hook a lead rope to his halter and lunge him left and right.
For instance, when you point left, the horse must know to go to your left.
And vice versa for going right.The final result should look like this.
You're holding the lead rope while facing your horse.
As you hold the lead rope in your right hand, you hook the middle of the lead rope with your left thumb.
Lift it up and point to the left.Your...

Horse Racing Betting, The Risk Free Way
Horse Racing Betting, The Risk Free Way
You may or may not of heard of all this talk about been a change to horse racing betting where you can bet on horse races risk free.
Yes that's right, Risk Free!
Now this isn't some bogus system that gives you one horse that is guaranteed to win, it isn't even like normal gambling. It's more like trading as you are betting on more than one horse in a race even all of them.
I hear you saying how can I make money betting on every horse in the race?
Because of the competition between bookmakers and now the rise of Betfair there prices are all over the place. One horse can be 4/1 with one bookmaker and 7/1 with another.
Every bookmaker is trying to get customers by giving away free bets, the best prices etc. They do this by making a couple of horses in a race better priced and then advertising it. If every bookie does this you can make a profit very easy.
