So wait, you are so violent from years of beating horses with whips? And they say video games are bad for kids.

I am thinking you didn't hit that guy too hard if he kept on fighting.

I didnt stick around to be honest,i just landed my punch as a reflex action and i don't beat my horses, they are very human like in personality each one is different and my faith (name of my horse) is my best friend she protects me when strangers are around when she is near me, i free lunge her frequently so she has freedom to run without any restraints, no lunge line no head collar nothing just one huge sand school and the sound of my voice as a training tool, i give her freedom as much as i can.
Horses were never meant to be ridden it is a great privilidge to let them allow us to ride them and i dont take that for granted in the slightest.

I figured, those horses are too expensive to treat badly. Just having a little fun with ya. But really, and this comes from the heart, there are alot of de-caffienated brands on the market that are just as tasty as real coffee.

I suggest you not visit Scotland because they'd probably beat the living daylights outta ya if call it a skirt. I think they prefer the term kilt.

I have grown up around horses all my life, horses can kill humans easily without any trouble at all. That is why they are greatly respected, i have a great deal of respect for them, they are un-predicatable animals and you need to be on your guard all the time around them because anything can happen the horse can suddenly get scared and start lashing around, if you treat a horse with respect and be kind to them they will return their respect and kindness. Stallions demand respect you can'not shout or demand things from them you have to treat them very carefully they are extremeley sensitive and wild animals if you argue with a stallion they will probably end up seriously injuring you or killing you.

There are no games with horses its very serious and very dangerous, there is no room for fear because horses sense even the tiniest trace of fear and they in turn become frightened and even more dangerous because they no longer trust you. So because i have grown up around horses i have no fear of them, so what is another human being to me, if they are aggressive towards me im not scared i get angry and i go by body language, you cant have a one to one conversation with horses they are silent animals, you have to go on body language.

Humans are no where near as fast as horse with striking, horses kicks are so fast you have to be very quick to notice they are going to kick before they lash out because you cant get out of the way fast enough if your too late noticing this.

So its all about witts and getting one step ahead mentally.

People who think they own their horses are foolish it's a partnership and friendship.

Any instructors in the Santa Barbara/Ventura area?

How about JKD + some other stuff in Santa Clarita. We have another student that drives up from SB twice a week. Maybe you can carpool. And (this may be my only shot at this) if you go or call, tell them Chris R. sent you. It would be a big help to me. Either post or email me me if you need more info.
