Welcome to my website.
The advice of Xenophon, given over twenty-three centuries ago, still holds true. He said, "What a horse does under compulsion is done without understanding and there is no beauty in it either any more than if one should whip and spur a dancer."
With this in mind, please enjoy this website. I hope the information here will help you improve your horsemanship. And remember, look for good horsemanship wherever you can find it. The same technique may not work on every horse.
