Crossing a Creek
By Charles Wilhelm
When teaching a horse to go over any obstacle, including a creek, there are certain things that the horse must already understand and we must have control of the horse. When we begin to teach a horse to go over any type of obstacle, we begin on the ground. The horse must first know how to lunge and give to pressure. On the ground and in the saddle, we must be able to control the hind quarters, the shoulders and the nose. We begin with a simple object on the ground, like a pole.

Hello, my name is Pet and this is my story.
A hint of spring is showing up out in the south west. We are starting to be able to open up our jackets and sport a fashionable tee shirt again. Thank Goodness! If yours are coming out of winter storage looking a bit tired, maybe it’s time to refresh your riding shirts. Take a peek at the Horse2Heart selection on the for sale page. Better yet, make a donation and get a free new fashionable jersey shirt!
As the Labor Day holiday weekend approaches, many will celebrate the lingering days of summer by taking a day r two off to relax or play.
It’s a natural to also take some time to think about how your business can prosper in the last four months of the year. Your attitude may have more to do with your success than anything else. Business owners’ attitudes range from unstoppable enthusiasm to abysmal negativity. You’ve probably experienced this spectrum of emotion at some point in your own business life, too. I know I have.
If you ever sell horses, you know what it’s like to try convincing inexperienced riders or the non-horseman parents of a youth rider to buy a well trained horse. Unlike a car, a few years of age and miles on the odometer are two great features. While those features may cost more, paying a little more up front is a less expensive investment in the long run than buying a discounted green broke or poorly trained horse.
How many times have you ever heard these reasons for buying the wrong horse for the rider?
My son has been shopping on line for a used pick up truck. He’s narrowed down his selection to make, model, year and mileage. There are plenty of online resources for establishing values of used vehicles. You probably use these resources as price guides, too. With printed guides, price is well defined within a range of evaluation factors. It’s fast and EASY. Best of all, it educates buyers not familiar with values and makes negotiation comfortable.
If establishing prices in your horse business is a struggle, you’re not alone. Often, professional horsemen are selling to customers not fully educated on current value.
At some point, all professional horsemen realize that they can’t keep every good horse that walks into the barn. Buying and selling horses is part of the business.
Becoming fond of your horses is a terrific benefit of being in the horse business. It is also a financial tie down that can ruin your business. The profitable horseman understands the horses in his or her barn are assets; they aren’t pets.
A horse is either appreciating in value or depreciating in value.
As an asset, a horse is generating income as:
“…having some really nice ponies for sale here lately, I’ve had plenty of calls that turn out to be tire kickers- which I expect. However, my problem is people who make appointments to come out and then are no shows, with no calls or emails that they are not able to come.
I know it’s bound to happen on occasion, but was wondering if you knew of anyone that had a way of ‘decreasing’ the odds on that? We spend a great deal of time prepping our horses/ponies for potential buyers to come look at, make sure the farm is presentable, etc. and then set that time aside in our very busy schedule for these people….”
