I first became interested in horses as a kid watching the Lone Ranger, but was sixty years old before I had my first experience with them. My wife had attended horse camps as a teen, so had a leg up on me, but, we both had to acknowledged that we really knew far too little …

Thinking Amaya should get a start with horses using more of a natural horsemanship approach, they brought her to us. She got a good start, but lost interest.

We purchased a 15 year old thoroughbred gelding from a local auction to use as a subject in a video series we produced last year. The gelding, Cruiser, is a retired racehorse and is currently an excellent trail horse prospect. Cruiser was hard to load when we picked him up at the sale barn, so …

Equine Fear Memory
This month I did our problem solving article on trailer loading. In the article I discuss how you need to determine whether the problem is fear or attitude.
