Rick Gore (www.thinklikeahorse.org) U.S. Available View Profile Ask A Question View Past Answers	Rating N/A (Expert Not Accept Rating) Total Questions 77	Visit Rick Gore's Horse Site: www.thinklikeahorse.org --Rick is a student of the horse. I can answer questions about riding, saddling, using your legs, use of a bosal or hackamore. I believe in and practice "Natural Horsemanship". I ride mainly western and don't use or promote spurs, big bits, or whips. Reins are only one cue for the horse. Using the entire body helps the horse understand. I define riding as a human and horse working together for the enjoyment of both. Pain and fear should not be part of the equation. If you expect me to tell you feel good advice, you will be disappointed. 95% of all my answers will include the problem is you and not your horse. About 90% of most answers that I give out are on my web site, so if you read it you will probably answer your own question and may learn a few other things. I am like Gordon Ramsey (Hell's Kitchen) and Simon Cowell (Idol), you may not like what I say or how I say it, but it will be pretty true and accurate, in my opinion, judging from my experience.
