You can also see that Tom's horse in the photo likes him a lot - look at the horse's eye, like an almond, the horse is also very content.

The whip is part of the arm to ask the sensitive horse to step forward or cross their legs over sideways to step away (to teach lateral movements). It is just an arm extension (done properly, some idiots get a kick out of cruelty) for safety, too, as no-one wants to be kicked, as horses are flight animals (doesn't happen much) lol....


I've seen horse races where the jockeys have diligently & unstintingly dished out some 'education' with their 'arm extensions'...

I liked my mum a lot, even though she took it out on my bottom with a slipper in a way which wouldn't be allowed today...

I abhor horse racing.

I abhor rodeos.

There are a lot of gentle trainers around, more in Dressage (English). It is SOME the Western (American) style (not all by any means, my breaker trained with Monty Roberts from The States) whereas they beat their horses, plus the horrible horse racing.


The video I showed you above, Will won't be getting on the horse until the horse's back muscles are straight, up to two years it takes to get to that stage. All very gentle.

Hi Colin,

I can assure you that the horses are not hurt. I have tapped myself with the whip so I know the pressure of it, it is nothing, all breeze and sound (on the saddle). Most of the time, once the horses have figured out what is asked, just the wave or touch of the training tool of asking them to move forward of the movement is all that is needed, then, just placing your own energy into that area, they pick up the vibe and cross over and move away.

I can get my horses to move forward by placing my arm, that isn't next to them, behind my back, and waving my hand from there, to ask them to move forward - that is how sensitive they are, if trained, properly. I can move them from paddock to paddock, and do, by guiding them with my hand on their jaws (and waving them forward with my other hand behind my back); however, they mostly just follow me as I ask them and I don't need to guide them that way as they know what I ask. When I walk outside, there is a train of us, me, the boss horse, and the others in line, I can run and zigzag, they'll do it too, following me, it is adorable. One of my horses, actually, protects me all the time from people he deems to be unsafe, like a dog does, he actually walks between us if I let him.

If I walk outside, they all neigh to me, they adore me, and I them.

They would not do that if I was mistreating them in any way. They want to be with me, they want my company.

Yes, a lot of people mistreat horses and I will not have anything to do with them and have had to hold myself back, one time that was horrific, to not front up to three huge men (to my size) as they had just man-handled a horse into a float, and the horse was so scared, it forced itself through the person door at the front of the float (it was horrific).

I inspected my breaker's facilities years ago before I let him near my horses, the fellow's training method I mainly use: Dr Andrew McLean, PhD (Equine Cognition & Learning), BSc (Zoology), Dip Ed.

Horse training, done properly, is considered part of the Arts, nothing to do with Ego.

Quote of the Day - 15th October:

When you think of the long and gloomy history of man,
you will find more hideous crimes have been committed
in the name of obedience than have ever been committed
in the name of rebellion.

Wise Saying [5].JPG


Not happy with that sentiment.

It's asking you to not try to alter things.

If Lincoln had been content to 'rejoice in the way things are', he'd never have freed the slaves.

If King did the same, human rights wouldn't be recognised the way they are today.

It's those who see wrong & try to right it who shape our world into something better.

What's the point if 'the whole world belongs to you', if it's corrupt & tainted ?

Think again, Lao Tzu !
