I can answer questions about training and showing, both western and english. From Groundwork to show ring. My speciality is reining horses and I especially enjoy teaching people how to work with their horse without a bridle. I enjoy teaching people how to communicate with their horses using non-agressive methods, yet still reaching rewards and generating sucess in a timely manner.

I am a student of the Horse. How to deal with "problems" and find SOLUTIONS with real QUALITY that RESPECT the HORSE is my goal for this site. It has been my great fortune to be able to focus the last 12 years studying the Buckaroo/Vaquero style of horsemanship, this is what the Natural Horsemanship movement is based on. Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, Ricky Quinn and Bryan Neubert are my teachers and mentors. I continue to study and ride with these great horsemen. I am happy to offer help in starting colts, re-starting troubled horses, helping you find a "better way" with horses and sharing with you what it means to be a student of the horse. Western show disciplines; Showmanship, Trail, Horsemanship, Western Pleasure, as well as Hunter Under Saddle and Three Day Eventing are my passions. I enjoy sharing my 30+ years of experience with all levels of horse owners; children, amateurs and serious competitors. Please visit me at: www.laurelmountainfarms.com

I can answer questions on Breaking and Training horses and general riding. I can answer questions on showing your horse and general horse care. I also can help with nervous horses or horses that have a fear of a certain object. The only thing I can't answer for you is questions about your horses teeth, im ok with questions about the bit but not general health care for the teeth.

Visit Rick Gore's Horse Site: --- www.thinklikeahorse.org
--Rick is a student of the horse. He can answer questions about sacking out (Desensitizing vs. Sensitizing), dealing with spooky, abused or ex-race horses, rearing, bucking, horses that won’t tie or load into a trailer, working in a round pen/round corral, starting colts, dealing with aggressive or so called "mean" horses, herd behavior, biting, kicking, hard to catch, using a bosal or hackamore, soft hands and direct reining verses neck reining. If you expect him to tell you feel good advice, you will be disappointed. 95% of all his answers will include "the problem is you and not your horse." About 95% 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.

You see them interact, so I can only go with what I know, there are some anti-social horses, I think they are made that way by people who want to keep them in a stall, constantly change their herds, one

Well I don't think you will like my answer but this is not a horse problem. People mishandling the horse has taught it bad behavior and the horse does not know what is expected since this behavior has

lmao, where the hell did that come from? I answered your questions and told you things that normally cause head tossing. And asking why do you care is a valid question. I don't care where my horses

2009-11-19 Head tossing on a longe line: Rick Gore Horsemanship - www.thinklikeahorse.org:

Why do you care? If she just has a halter, so what if she moves her head. Normally loud heads are made by loud and inexperienced hands, pulling on the bit, insecure riders, riders tying to control too
