Horse Training Stories, Videos and Books
There are lots of great ways out there to learn about horse training. I want us to be able to share the things we've learned with each other. What has worked -- and not worked -- when it comes to training horses? What kinds of problems have you had? What have you learned? Lots of horse crazy girls want to learn from you too!
Here's a helpful website I've found: Horse Sense And More - Learn How to find, buy, care and maintain a horse for less.
Visit my horse training video page to watch videos with tips and techniques.
Share Your Horse Training Story!
Do you have a great horse training story to share? Please do!! Did your horse or pony have some bad habits you had to help them change? Do you have a funny story about working with your horse? How about things that worked (or didn't work) for you?
