Buy a horse that will build your confidence when you first get into the horse business. When people who are just getting started end up buying the wrong horse, things go downhill in a hurry. I can’t tell you how many people buy their first horse, get into trouble, get bucked off, fall off, lose their confidence, sell the horse, sell their saddle, sell the trailer and never want to ride a horse again! Let me save you some trouble right now – buy a horse that will give you confidence. Don’t buy a horse based on emotions because all of those emotions aren’t going to mean a thing when you’re getting drug down the road by that shiny Thoroughbred or when that green-broke filly throws you head first into the dirt. Instead, buy a horse that’s seasoned and uses the thinking side of his brain. Remember, horses teach people, and then people teach horses.

It is very good for treating a variety of eye problems, conjunctivitis, cataract formation, ulcers, weak eyesight, eye strain and to help remove cysts caused by chronic eye inflammation. Eyebright will strengthen all parts of the eye and provide elasticity to the nerves and optic devices responsible for sight.

Eyebrights antiseptic properties fight infections in the eye. Externally it can be used as a lotion or drops for the eyes or as a compress.

Herbal Compresses are made by soaking a clean cotton cloth in a strong herbal tea and applying it as hot as possible to the affected area. The heat engages the activity of the herbs and opens the pores of the skin for fast assimilation. Alternating hot and cold compresses are also successful therapies, to stimulate nerve function, circulation, veins and capillaries. The hot compress should contain the herbs; the cold compress should be plain.

Steep herbs in an egg cup, open 2 capsules into the cup fill with boiling water to make a strong tea. Strain only the liquid off. Make fresh every day to be used as an eye wash or drops.

Internally it is great to stimulate the liver and can be fed for nasal congestion, catarrh, sinusitis and other congestive states.

Added to the feed give 30-40 grams daily.

Always consult a veterinarian for eye injuries or problems.

Be Well

The Oklahoma wind was so cold on that early March day, I was just mad at it. Felt like that stiff breeze had a pair of pliers just squeezing like the dickens on the tips of my ears. We had arrived early but the vast parking lot of the church was already jammed. And they had all come ” hundreds of them ” all had come to say good-bye to the Mighty Warrior.
I don’t think I can go to the roping Sunday, I told my friend, Sharon. I have to go to a funeral the day before, and well it’s going to be rough. And I told her about him.
After listening, she said, Yes, we can. I’ll come to the funeral with you. Then we will go to the roping. That’s what he would have wanted.
Yes, I said, after a time of silence. That’s what he would have wanted.

The massive sanctuary was packed. Everyone’s head was down and we all knew we would feel worse when the ordeal was done. The saddles ringed the pulpit, and the beautiful cedar coffin sat right in the middle of it all. And flowers? I never saw so many ” hundreds of them, all large and all so pretty, and every one dressed in their favorite spring colors. So out of place on a day like this, I thought to myself.
No, we are not, said one rather large, particularly attractive rose whispering to me.
We are not out of place at all. This is what we do. And the service began.
The first photo on the big screen showed a smiling tow-headed kid with red cheeks. Just the kind of kid my daddy loved. The boy was healthy and happy then, and memories of him on his horse running and playing faded in and out for a time. Then came the first picture of him in that chair he would sit in for the rest of his days. His name was Chad Gibson.
Chadrick Ethan ” a name meaning Mighty Warrior – was born in March of ’78. Just a short four and half years later, he would be diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy ” a miserable and evil disease. The doctor’s told dad and mom, Melvin and Teresa, Chad wouldn’t make it past ten. But the Mighty Warrior had other plans.
Against all odds he lived a life of happiness for twenty-nine years. And in all that time, despite what he had to endure, I never once saw him in a bad mood. Seems every roping I’ve been to in the last few years while saddling Little Blue and Shine, I would hear his dad, Melvin, yell from across the way, Will you turn one for me, Michael?
Sure I will, Melvin, I would answer back, always happy to rope with a good heeler.
And I hope I don’t miss cause I know you won’t, I would laugh, and then I would turn to look for the van. I knew where it would be – Melvin always parked it in the same place.
The red van was always just outside the arena in an ideal spot – the place where Chad could watch his daddy rope. Him sittin’ there on the passenger side with all his breathing machines and high-tech gadgets that kept him alive, and his momma always in there with him – always smiling and so was he.
How you doin’, Chad? I would ask as I walked by.
Fine, Michael. How are you? You and dad gonna get them today?
It’s over, Chad. This roping is over. If I got your daddy roping on the heel end, I can’t understand why all these people don’t just load up and go home! And he would laugh.

The pictures of his life came to an end, and Melvin rose from his seat. Standing before the crowd, he began talking about his son. Not with much emotion, but just truth. Just sharing what it was like to live with someone he loved ” and I will always remember it as Melvin’s finest hour.
People tell me I did a good job with Chad ” taking him with us, caring for him, he said. I accept the compliment from those people, but their kind words always make me wince and cringe a little bit. After all, he paused, what else could I have done? Who among you would not have done the same? What else could I have done ” the Lord having given me such a fine son what else could I have done?
As he talked, I looked around the room at my cowboy friends. Trust me when I tell you they are a tough bunch. My eyes went from face to face, and I remembered the wrecks, spills, lost thumbs of ropers, and broken noses I had witnessed them suffer. And not one ” no matter how severe the injury ” could I ever remember seeing shed a single tear. But on this day they all did. And then came the Preacher Man.

His name was Brother Forest Gibbs ” an old time tent-revival evangelist he was ” and he did the most wonderful thing. We all sat there desperately wishing we could find some way to vent this deep and powerful grief, but we could not. Because we all knew no matter how much we hurt, our grief paled in comparison to the pain felt by Chad’s mom and dad. And yet there they sat on the front pew strong as ever. Then the Preacher Man offered us a way to let that emotion out. He made us laugh!
You think you can’t get through this, don’t you? were his opening words. But you can! he thundered, and we all began to raise our heads a little. I know how you feel, he continued in a loud voice. I had a problem once I couldn’t handle ” thought I couldn’t get through it but I did. The Lord helped me! And we raised our heads a bit more.
I tore my fingernail off, he said. Went to the doctor and said, Fix this! It’s killin’ me!’ Doctor says, I can’t do anything but put a big bandage on it.’ Doc puts the big bandage on ” it’s still killin’ me ” and I walk outside and shout to the heavens  Lord, I can’t get through this. I have a tent revival to preach tonight, and Lord, you know I make big gestures with my hands ” I preach with my hands! What am I gonna do?
The old Preacher Man leaned down and whispered in the microphone, And the Lord spoke to me on that day! And the Lord said, Brother Gibbs, take your injured limb and place it behind you, and tie it with a string. Go in that tent revival tonight and I’ll show you how to whip the devil with one hand tied behind your back! We laughed til we cried.
Then he shouted, YOU KNOW HOW WE GET TO HEAVEN?
And now we all had our heads up hoping
YOU KNOW HOW WE GET TO HEAVEN? he thundered again. Then came his answer  To get to heaven, brothers and sisters – we have to go through hell! And we laughed again, relieved and feeling the thing called hope. He told us how this was hell, but Jesus was with us ” that he was here – and all the people here were with us, and waving his arm, he said, Even these beautiful flowers have come here to help us on this day.
And the rose beside my pew whispered, See? I told you.
Then the preacher man told a story of a young girl who had lost her horse. She grieved and grieved, but her suffering would not end. She could not let go of her friend. The girl’s mother called the old pastor and said, You may not want to do this, but well uh, Mary Ann wants you to uh preach a funeral for her horse.
Services will be held tomorrow, and begin promptly at one p.m., the preacher replied to the mother.
At the animal’s graveside, the old evangelist surrounded by the horse’s loved ones, preached a beautiful and touching sermon for the departed friend. Then turning to the grieving child, he said, Weep no more little one, because the Lord Himself has spoken to me this morning at dawn. Brother Gibbs,’ the Lord told me, tell the child I had need of this fine steed, and that I will keep him for her until he meets her in the hereafter!’
The minister closed by saying, We can’t bring them back, brothers and sisters, but we can go to them. Chad will be there too waiting on all of us.
Then soft music came and the singer posed a question  How do I keep from going crazy? And the answer came in the words of the song, When I raise my hands, and bow my head – I find more and more truth in the words written in red.
And we headed home. To my surprise, I felt better after than before. I felt better because of Chad and the way he lived his life, and because I didn’t know Jesus was going to be there, and he was. Silly me ” He’s always there. And because of the old Preacher Man ” and because of that little smart-alecky rose.
The next day, my feet hit the floor at 3:00 a.m. and in just a short time, Little Blue and the Shine Man were in the trailer behind. We met Sharon almost 200 miles away at 6:30. We drank coffee from the thermos at dawn, ate big cheeseburgers at lunch, and roped ” and we committed to wring every single ounce of living from this day. On the way home, I asked her, What do you think Chad is doing in heaven today?

She thought for a time, and said, Let’s see it’s five central here, and she paused thinking for several moments, then said, He’s probably settled in by now, and has said hello to all his loved ones, so I’m sure they’re roping by now don’t you think?

In memory of Chad Gibson ” 1978-2007
A Mighty Warrior

Have you ever heard the equestrian term of using our riding “aids” when describing the use of the seat, legs, spurs, hands, whip, bridle, etc, etc, with regards to control of the horse? At first, it seems a bit far-fetched, perhaps just another sugar coated contradiction of terms to refer to someone as “aiding” a horse when we see them using various means of “pressure” to control a horse. In fact, whether a rider uses his or her various body parts and tools of the trade as “aids” or as “weapons” depends entirely upon their knowledge and skill with regards to how they “get through” to the horse and what the message truly is that they are sending to the horse.

Take for instance the quintessential image of both dressage and reining. Of all the myriad of spokes on the wheel of horsemanship no two disciplines are more obsessed with creating specific “shapes” in a horse then dressage and reining. Why? Well, in an ideal situation the truly enlightened dressage or reining rider knows that the body and the mind of the horse are literally, meaning physiologically, connected as One. In other words, how a horse thinks, feels and behaves is directly related to the shape and gestures found in the body of the horse. Hence, the way to the mind of the horse is through the body.

The old expression “frame of mind” speaks volumes when defining the nature of the horse because it refers to the mind as a “shape”. What I’m getting at here is that the ideal shape of true “collection” as it is defined in classical dressage and reining is directly associated with a horse that feels calmly confident and assertive with a relaxed but intensely focused work ethic.

Having said that, before I go any further, it should be noted that just because someone wears full-seat breeches that does NOT mean that they are riding a calm and collected dressage horse and just because a rider wears a cowboy hat and chaps does not mean that their reining horse is supple and confident. Too often when riders want to “collect” their horses they are riding what coaches often refer to as “backwards” and/or they do not have a “seat” and they are either “ahead” or “behind” their horse. It is impossible to define each of these terms within the confines of a column but if we look at riding from the metaphor of driving a car with a standard transmission then we can say that there are those riders who are good with a clutch and there are those who are not. Too often a rider either “pops” the clutch on the horse or is “grinding the gears” of their poor horse. If a rider truly is good with the clutch of the horse then the rider can “aid” the horse into moving with a frame of body that makes the horse feel more wonderful while being ridden then it ever feels on its own.

A rider who is good with the clutch (the “back to front” relationship between the seat and legs into the bridle) is “user-friendly” to the vertebrae of the spine of a horse and can create shapes in the horse such as a “long and low” frame or a “well rounded” frame, and both of these shapes aid the horse by creating endorphins that soothe the naturally nervous and stressed equine mind. On the other hand, a rider who is hard on the clutch of a horse by pulling on the bridle in a manner that causes the back of the horse to drop while the neck and the head of the horse are elevated (in what is often referred to as an “inverted” or “upside down” spinal column), is a rider who is inadvertently creating a shape in their horse that produces adrenaline and will immediately trigger behaviors in the horse such as fear, anger or defiance. Another metaphor that applies here is that the rider is a sculptor using the aids to shape the animated clay (body) of a horse into shapes that hopefully relate to feeling good instead of feeling bad.

The concept that the body and the mind of the horse are one and the same is why I titled my first book “Horses Don’t Lie”. Our horses tell us exactly and honestly how they feel about everything, including how they feel about us and how well we ride them, by the shapes and gestures of their body. So, keeping this in mind, it can be a bitter pill for some people to accept that the behavior of a horse is directly proportionate to how we shape them into feeling. Or, to be blunt, the behavior of your horse = the way you make it feel. This can be a big ouch for some people and send many riders into tailspins of blame and denial but, again, Horses Don’t Lie.

So, if your horse doesn’t want to be “caught”, or your horse has issues taking the bridle, or standing still for saddling, or if your horse can’t stand quietly and always needs to move, or if your horse won’t engage and become as forward as you want, or too forward and will not stop, or will not jump, or cross water, or is “barn sour” and refuses to let you take it on a trail ride, or your horse bites, kicks, or strikes, or any and all vices and issues that people become frustrated and want to “fix” in a horse, please remember that your horse has a clutch and this particular vehicle, unlike your car, also has a mind and emotions. If there is anything about the behavior and performance of your horse that you don’t like then please don’t blame your horse. Your horse does not conspire against you, he or she simply reacts to how you affect his or her body shapes and how those frames of body make them feel.

In closing, remember, knowledge is power. I believe that if we all learned how to find just the right feel for the clutch of our horses then we could truly aid them into moving in such a way that they only feel better when we are with them and never feel any worse for the wear. If it was every riders goal to have their horses become addicted to how good we can make them feel then there would be no more frightened, angry or shut down horses. Instead we’d truly have calm and collected, focused and contented partners who appreciate how we make them feel and in return they reward us with affection and loyalty. It sounds too good to be true but there are indeed riders who can walk the talk of aiding their horses into being the best that they can be. So please make it your goal to ask not what your horse can do for you but instead ask what you can do to aid your horse.

It’s a shame about dressage. Or at least to me it is.

I always thought of it as such a “pure” thing; such a “beautiful thing; harmony in union.”

For me, Dressage was practiced by those who wanted “art with horses.”

It was for horsemen and women who wanted to take a horse to his maximum performance ability, suppleness, flexibility, balance and grace. It was a work of art between a rider and a horse, and that is all that it had to be.

It was, but it is no more.

Dressage: a noun, French, originally meaning “basic dressing.”

The basic dressing was applied to all horses and at all levels and that was the extent of it. It was done with any horse that a nobleman (and only noblemen could afford both the luxury of a horse and the time to develop its gaits, grace, balance, suppleness and flexibility) saw fit to ride.

The idea originally was not to compare horses, but to enjoy the development of a single horse’s unique talents.

One horse and one rider, being all they could be.

And that was the original goal.

Then disaster struck; dressage became a competition.

One of my most admired dressage authorities, Waldemar Seunig (he attended the French Cavalry School at Saumur and the Spanish Riding School at Vienna and from 1922 to 1930 was the Master of the Horse at the Court of King Alexander of Yugoslavia; he was the coach of the successful German Olympic Team.) says this about perfecting the art of dressage: “it is the practical, creative artist, the equestrian genius, who is fused with his horse into one unit, who makes its will his own, and who proves that there are no limits to art.”

Great thinking….and he could do it…and many in the 1600s, 1700s, 1800s could do it……but by the 1900s competition had corrupted that simple idea of dressage for the sake of dressage.

Seunig was not only an equestrian competitor, he was a judge of international competition. He too was corrupted, and winning became more important than dressage.

But in the 1950s and 1960s, dressage was still defined as training, exhibition riding or horsemanship in which the horse is controlled in certain difficult steps and gaits by very light movements of the rider. The horse is to be relaxed and the performance is to appear “effortless.”

Light and gently and subtle were the key words for dressage riders such as Colonel Alois Podhajsky, Jessica Newberry and later Reiner Klimke, a world champion and winner of 6 gold medals in 5 Olympics (1964 to 1988)

When I see pictures of Podhajsky and Newberry riding, or I watch Klimke ride, I see a horse that is relaxed and appears to be performing effortlessly. I see a rider not strained or stesssed or rigid, but in a beautifully balanced position with a willing partner.

It’s a shame about dressage.

When I see upper level riders today, the art is gone.

Don’t misunderstand me. It is not that I am not in awe of the performances they achieve. They are getting more from their horses than the past masters did. (Of course, the horses they are riding have evolved along with training knowledge and techniques.)

What I see in today’s advanced level dressage are horses performing phenomenally; they are giving every ounce of effort they have to give. They are reaching new heights in suppleness and flexibility.

And they are unhappy, tense and showing the exertion needed to respond to their rider’s demands. Nothing about it appears “effortless.” It is not light or gentle or subtle.

I watched a video of a horse score the highest dressage score ever recorded.

The maneuvers were fantastic and the accomplishments of the horse should be applauded again and again.

But the horse hated every minute of that performance; the tail wringing and swishing and twirling and shaking, the ears back, the face knotted with tension.

It wasn’t the art I had hoped it would be…it was man forcing his will onto the horse in the name of competition.

Oh, for the original idea of any horse being helped to reach his potential, with no intention of ever comparing one horse to another.

It’s a shame about dressage.

OUTWARD SIGNS TO LOOK FOR:

OVERALL CONDITION OF YOUR HORSE
-Is he in good condition as he usually is?
-Is he in the same condition as the other horses in the same pen, on the same feed?

BEHAVIORAL DIFFERENCES OBSERVED
-Is he more aggressive around the feed than usual?
-Are there large particles of unchewed feed in his manure?
-Does he stretch his neck or tilt and tip his head when eating grain or pellets?

AGE OF THE HORSE
-Is he a young horse going through developmental years (growth patterns/changing teeth)?
-Is he an older horse where some teeth may be expired?

USE OF THE HORSE
-What will you be using your horse for, what will he be expected to do this season?

HANDLING/RIDING BEHAVIOR CHANGES
-Is he evasive and difficult to halter or bridle?
-Does he fuss with the bit in his mouth?
-Does he respond appropriately and consistently to bit pressure?
-Does he favor one turn over the other?
-Does he have a different head set than usual?

INWARD SIGNS TO LOOK FOR

CHECK FOR SYMMETRY

- Look for differing musculature
- Do his temporal muscles look the same?
Look for differences in size, shape and development.

Location of temporal muscles
-Is there tenderness just below his TMJ?
Palpation of the temporal muscles

- Do the masseter muscles look and feel the same?
Look for differences in size, shape and development.
Palpation of the masseter muscles

– Are the outside edges of the upper molars sharp and tender to the horse when slight pressure is applied to the cheek?
Checking the upper molars for sharp edges sensitivity

-Are there any abnormalities observed?
Visual inspection of the incisors for abnormalities (rising four yr old)

Look for missing teeth, wedge, smile, frown, protuberances of the incisors.

Condition is always a good indicator of tooth function. Aggression around the food source may indicate that a horse is in pain when he eats. I have found times that the fattest horse has had the worst teeth; their aggression toward other horses allows them more time to eat. A noticeable change in a horse’s feed requirement is a strong indicator of pain caused by teeth as well. If they have a history of doing well on 5 pounds grain and a ½ square bale of hay per day for the last three years and this year they are not doing well on the same amount of feed  something has changed. Chances are their tooth function isn’t as good as it once was. If they don’t get the food ground up as well, they won’t get the same nutrients out of it.
Horses that stretch their neck or tip their head when eating grain or pellets are either shedding a baby tooth or a side preference chewer. When they have a particular tooth that is painful to chew on, they tilt and stretch using gravity to keep the food away from the point of pain. Horses are afforded what is called a saggital crest (muscle) of the tongue which helps divide the food in their mouth from one side or the other so the aid of gravity helps keep the food in place. Tilting and stretching is simply an effort to avoid a painful side of chewing.
Young horses especially go through huge changes in their teeth. They shed 24 baby teeth and replace them with permanent teeth between 2 ½ – 4 ½ years of age. They also find homes for 12 additional permanent teeth that were not preceded by baby teeth. To add to the mix, they have anywhere from 0-4 wolf teeth that come in between 6-18 months, and males have 4 canines that come in between 4 ½ years. All of which is happening usually when they are in training.

All horses require regular dental maintenance in order to perform at their best. Three point balance provides both comfort and function when done correctly. Many trainers starting horses claim that proper dentistry prior to training will enable the horse to learn twice as much in half the time. When a horse’s teeth are balanced and the horse is out of pain in it’s mouth, the horse is allowed to focus solely on the trainer and his instruction. A great bang for the training buck. Anyone showing or competing is spending a lot on training, schooling, travel and entry fees. You might as well provide your horse the opportunity to perform at his best.
How does dentistry allow a horse to perform at his best? If they are entered in a speed event (timed) hesitations due to pain from unbalanced or sharp teeth, can cost you the crown. If they are entered in a refined event eg: hunter, dressage, reining, western, pleasure, etc. where a particular movement or frame is required; balance and freedom of pain or discomfort should always be a afforded.

Bitting is another area, horsemen should consider relative to tooth problems. Does your horse readily accept the bit? Does he respond appropriately to bit pressure? If your horse really doesn’t want to be bridled, or respond appropriately, it may be an indication of discomfort in his mouth. If his teeth have not been addressed, he may be unable to move his jaw either forward/backward or side to side. A horse can only perform properly when he is able to freely move his jaw forward for him to comfortably stop, backup and collect. His jaw must be able to freely move his jaw forward and to either side for him to comfortably spin, rollback and perform a flying lead change.

When I inquire how a horse rides, generally a horse will ride the best to the side they tend to chew on the most. This causes the muscles on that side to be more developed if you look closely at the muscles on the forehead (temporalis) and the jaw (masseter). If you compare the size (one side to the other) and notice a palpable or visual difference from one side to the other, this is some of the first indications that the horse is experiencing tooth issues, each of which affect his chewing and riding preferences.

Remember, all undesirable actions are compensatory to some point of pain and attributes to a horse’s balance and ability to perform. If you are experiencing undesirable behaviors while riding your horse, have a certified equine dentist take a look, to get the answer ‘straight from your horse’s mouth.

You know you’re supposed to be thinking about your game plan, your next move, and your Right Focus.

But your mind is betraying you.

It’s whispering things like, “Win this point you get the set,” or “Putt this hole and you’ll birdie it.”

Or maybe you’re not thinking about the score.

Maybe you’re just frustrated because nothing is working out there.

As the cliche goes, you’re “not getting the bounces.”

Maddening.

You know getting frustrated won’t help your game, but you’re STILL frustrated.

Here’s a quick tip from spiritual guru Deepak Chopra.

Go zen on the situation and ‘become one’ with the ball, rock, puck, target, etc.

Imagine a line running from your heart to the ball.

Push your diaphragm in and out at the navel with a few conscious breaths, an exercise used in Yoga.

This special breathing is for relaxation.

The line from your heart to the ball is for concentration.

Finally, place your tongue against the roof of your mouth to stop the internal dialogue in your mind.

I tried Deepak’s tip myself while golfing.

The first time I imagined a line from my heart to the ball, I noticed a connection to it I hadn’t had before.

The ball absorbed my attention in a way I cannot explain.

And I couldn’t think frustrated thoughts no matter how hard I tried.

My mind quieted right down.

I stopped worrying about whether or not I was going to hit the ball

And then I hit it.

Try it today and surprise yourself.

Most athletes don’t use mental toughness strategies like this.

Either they don’t know them or they think mental training is New Age bunk.

They stay inconsistent and wonder why.

They may go so far as to take breaks from their sport in frustration.

My friend, this is totally unnecessary.

You don’t need to be held hostage to weak mental skills.

You can make low confidence and choking a thing of the past.

That’s where I come in.

My Courage to Win ADVANCED 30 Day Program teaches you the mental toughness secrets only superstar athletes know.

Your confidence will flourish.

You will learn how to WIN consistently.

Competing will seem easier, but it will be you who has changed.
