Finding a Better Way . . .
Strewn down either side of the path of least resistance to the Delightful Horse are the bodies of battered owners and the remains of dead horses beaten by magic wands and good intentions.
The high road is seldom straight and rarely easy but far simpler than the alternatives. We have a responsibility in life to make things better for our fellow-man and the creatures around us. Why? To counteract the tipping of the scales by the people who just don’t care. You are here. You care. You want to find a better way. The same old rhetoric isn’t getting the job done. Too vague. Too philosophical. Too confusing. Too much running in a bullpen… (and the “not knowing when to stop!” LOL) Can’t put those concepts into actions that actually help you get your horse from point A to point B.
*Cue orchestra music* “Here I Come to Save the Day!” That means that Darqpony (the Delightfulhorse) is on the waaaay! (You should have visions of “Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures” flying around about now . . . only, like, in horse form) And for just $737.00, I’ll give you the Super-Duper-Magic-Pixie-Dust that will solve ALL your horse’s (dog’s, cat’s, dolphin’s, kid’s, and spouse’s, too, btw) problems. LOL Just kidding. No magic pixie dust. Just a new way to look at old problems and that part is no joke. Breakdown ANY trainer’s technique (Parelli, Anderson, Lyons, Reis, Peters, Gurney, Cox, Shrake, Miller, etc., going back to Beery, Rarey, and Xenophon) and figure out what makes them tick and how they work. And then—duh-di-duh-duuuhm—build upon your new way of thinking. They are not better than you and this is not rocket science. I’m not re-inventing the wheel. In fact, horses (dogs, cats, dolphins, kids, and spouses) have been around far longer than the wheel so what would be the point? I’m going to ride on all these big name trainer coat tails and they won’t even know it. Because isn’t that the point? Working smarter and not harder? Finding a better way. We are humans, you know. We should have the higher intelligence and be able to do that.

Let me make one thing clear here at the beginning. As a horse trainer, we don’t get GOOD horses in training. A good horse doesn’t need training. We get horses with potential, a bit or a bunch, but it’s a trainer’s lot in life to bring forth that potential—sometimes against the horse’s will! *grin* If a horse refuses to be good, then our job is to train the owner to handle the...
So,… I’ve been in the Friesian breed thing for well over two decades and I finally have something to say. Are you on pins and needles, yet? No? Gosh darn it… I worked so hard for that build-up and I’ll never get it again… LOL\r\nWell, who am I and why would you care? Well, I’m nobody in particular and certainly nobody important enough to worry about. Some of you may know me by sigh...
The Equitation Endurance Trail is designed for the rider that wants a more balanced equitation seat, featuring English-style strategically positioned knee rolls* with padded flaps. Western girth rigging with English stirrups. 3½\" Cantle, 21lbs, Medium tree.\r\nThe leather on these saddles is top quality, the most supple and smooth feeling. Like they took a good $350.00 English Bridle and made a sad...
I am a trainer. I train horses to be ridden… I train people to ride the horses that have been trained to be ridden. Horses come and go because the situation of the owners change… owners become pregnant, owners lose jobs, owners no longer want to work so hard to ride, owners move out of the area, owners never were in the area and the drive for lessons was too far…\r\nMost owners are pretty ...
Spanish soaps at its best! LOL You have to watch the first one first. The second one ties in quite adroitly...\r\n(I especially love how his shirt *pops* open so fortuitously! LOL and that he\'s not ab-ripped like what you\'d expect! )\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPoor Juan Carlos . . . Poor Horse!\r\n:P\r\n \r\nRelated articles\r\n\r\n Citroen\'s Bizarre New Car Ad Stars A Silver-Haired Baby Riding A Horse\r\n 4 Lessons from...
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\nThe leather is in good condition and the billet straps look hardly used but there are some stains on the seat where the roof leaked on it. Comes with white English pad (newish), leathers (oldish), irons (newish) and an English girth. I have two girths to choose from. Whoever buys first gets first choice. Elastic one end, either a 48\" or a 57\". (Right between that 56\" and 58\" \"real\"...
I love the internet.\r\nWhen I got my first horse, after years of tears (I was twelve, give me a break…LOL) I had a thirst for knowledge about all things horse. I’d been fixated on horses since I was eight (?) but my sole movie role model was the relationship between young Alec Ramsey and The Black as my shining example of how to ‘bond’ with your horse.\r\n\r\nFeed ‘em lotsa seaweed and he...
Used very little by previous owner and leather is in great condition. Camera flash makes it look way more worn than it actually is. It\'s a Norco Ranch Outfitter\'s Brand but when I went to the Norco Ranch Outfitter\'s store, they told me they commissioned the saddle from another company under their name. Medium brown leather w/dark brown smooth leather seat. No horn. Many strings and clips for saddl...
\r\n@ :43 . . . You know this happens! All those crazy crash, bang, boom, disco/hip-hop/punk pony bashings going on, you trudge out in the dead of night through rain, sleet and snow, flip on the lights, and all those pesky party ponies are blinking at you like, \"Whaaat? Turn out the lights! It\'s too bright!\" You KNOW they weren\'t all snoozing while munching their grassy hay just two seconds ...
Anyanka CK (Anya) is a June 2008 mare sired by Mintse 384 out of a Wander 352 daughter. She is fancy, happy and lots of fun. A 4th generation Checkerboard Farms horse, I (Tammy Delight darqpony@Delightfulhorse.com) have worked with all three of this horse’s immediate ancestors, (Nylke S to Wander 352 to Kessa to Anya) the last two from birth, including Anya, which is kinda cool. Anya is me...
Share the info (with proper author credit, of course.) It's good karma for you and good for horses everywhere.
