"I Got it Finally"
"Effective Leadership"
To be truly effective requires simplification. "If you do not understand the lesson, how will your horse understand?"
Randy Byers Truth Revealed!
Over the years, countless people and horses have been seriously injured or even killed by this type of unwanted behavior. This behavior is not to be taken lightly. A horse can go 6 different directions: forward, back, left, right, down, and UP! The truth is that it can happen at anytime without any warning from the horse or action on your part. If you have a horse that is starting to rear, seek help from a professional before you or your horse get seriously injured or even killed. "It is better to put a welt on the horse's butt than have the horse put you in the grave!"
More education opportunities
