I don't watch much TV or go to any clinics. It would be like going back to school to much. I watched some guy on RFTV one night and he was a good old boy. Was an elderly american man I just can't remember his name.

But he had just good practical sense topics. Not like trying to teach you horse to do circus tricks or be able to stand still next to a train!

But I can listen to my wife all day when she is teaching others. I myself don't need any riding pointers!

I am kidding take it easy.

I really don't have a clinician that I listen to. I have the two kids and spend the rest of the time reading old equine books. And The Bible.

Hey Jesus comes back on a white horse.. Yeah He is my Clinician.

I try to go to lots of clinics so that I can get several trainer's opinions.

I used to go to them failry often to try and learn the best techniques and most up to date information on horse training and exercising. Now, I read more than anything. I foud out that everyone has their own opinions and the majority of them are all the same, just told in a different way.

You have to take all advise and teaching at face value, taking away what applys to you and your situation without trying to force something to work that wasn't meant for that situation in the first place.

Isn't that the truth. You listen to these trainers and they kind of rehash the same thing. Kind of works that way. Like the Good Book says. "Nothing New Under the Sun"

But it is always good to read as it jars a the memory and keeps us up to date on things we may have filed away.

I saw a show on TV about some cowboy competition and it has several cowboys, working and professional. One working cowboy took a horse and really schooled it, I mean this horse had never been ridden and he was on its back and in control in less than an hour!

The other one jumped on a Yeehad it around and had no control that horse was bucking and everything and one the competition. My opinion the working cowboy who did the ground work was the better hand.

A natural.
