25.01.2022 If your horse hates stepping into water, Clinton shares how to get him over his fear in the article #ApplyTheMethod

25.01.2022 One Rein Stops With Hot-Blooded vs. Cold-Blooded Horses: Since a hot horse is always going to be thinking ahead of himself, youll want to shorten him mentally ...by not letting him go very far before doing a One Rein Stop. This is especially true at the lope. Dont let him build up to 100 miles an hour before you shut him down. If youre working with a cold-blooded horse, youll want to lengthen him mentally and get his feet moving. In other words, youll let him go farther before shutting him down with a One Rein Stop. The horses personality will determine how much pressure you have to apply to get him to move and how long you let him go before shutting him down. Once youve completed the Fundamentals level of the Method, both types of horses should be acting more or less the same. They will become what I call lukewarm, meaning they will go as fast as you ask them to go, but no faster, and theyll stop and fall asleep as soon as you ask them to. - Clinton #ApplyTheMethod

25.01.2022 The ideal location for first taking a horse outside is a long dirt road because it gives you plenty of room to move the horse forward and it gives him a straigh...t line to follow. Beyond that, you need room to move the horses feet, meaning you can bend him down in circles to soften him, the ground is good enough for you to lope him, and there are natural obstacles around, such as trees or bushes, you can incorporate into your training. The worst possible place to begin training a horse on the trail would be on a narrow path where you have no room to move the horses feet and you have to cross obstacles you havent introduced to your horse, such as a suspended bridge, water, steep hills, logs so high that he has to jump over them, etc. Putting a green horse in an environment like that is setting him up to fail and putting the two of you in a very dangerous situation. But, Clinton, someone always says at this point, thats the only trail I have available to ride my horse on. You have two choices: You either haul your horse to a suitable place to train him and build his confidence, or you buy a well-trained horse that will ride on a narrow trail and cross all of those obstacles. Horses do not train themselves. I cannot say that enough. Expecting an inexperienced horse to safely navigate a challenging trail is just setting him up to fail and putting the two of you in a very dangerous situation. As your horse gets better trained on the trail, youll gradually increase the difficulty of the trails you take him on. Eventually, youll be able to ride on a 2-foot ledge next to the Grand Canyon with confidence. But it takes consistent training to get a horse to that point. - Clinton #ApplyTheMethod

25.01.2022 ARE YOUR SOYBEAN HULLS SAFE FOR HORSES? ...Because some of them definitely are NOT! I love soybean! The protein is amazing and year in, year out we feed it to ...horses with stunning results in muscle, bone quality and milk production. BUT it MUST, MUST, MUST be heat treated correctly to make it safe to feed! WHY MUST SOYBEAN BE COOKED BEFORE ITS FED TO HORSES? Uncooked soybean has a few anti-nutritional factors. The most significant one is trypsin inhibitor. Trypsin is a protein-digesting enzyme made by your horse. Your horse uses trypsin to cut up protein into amino acids so they can be absorbed. Trypsin is like a little pair of scissors whose only job is to cut up (i.e. digest) protein. The trypsin inhibitor in soybean effectively ties a piece of string around the end of these protein-digesting scissors so they can no longer cut any protein up. The end result decreased protein digestion! So you can be feeding plenty of protein but if any soybean products you are feeding have active trypsin inhibitor, protein digestion will be reduced! A lot! And the problem is it reduces protein digestion from ALL protein in the diet, not just from the ingredient containing the trypsin inhibitor (i.e. the soybean hulls). HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR SOYBEAN PRODUCT IS SAFE FOR HORSES I recently picked up two samples of soybean hulls from a large riding horse stable. The horses in the stable were being fed two different brands of soybean hull. The stable manager had gone to long lengths to balance these diets using FeedXL. To look at the diets on paper I expected lovely, rounded, well-conditioned horses. But they werent. The horses being fed the most feed had little muscle. Spines were tent-shaped, rumps were flat and shoulders and chests thin and narrow. I was scratching my head. Something was wrong but I couldnt quite put my finger on what until I tested the soybean hulls! Using a rapid colour test to check for likely active trypsin inhibitor, I tested them to make sure they had been heat-treated enough to destroy all trace of trypsin inhibitor. When heat treatment has been done well, the samples tested should show no trace of a colour change. If heat treatment was not done properly, and active trypsin inhibitor is still present, the sample turns pink. How pink determines how active the trypsin inhibitor will still be more pink = more active trypsin inhibitor (which is not what we want to see). And the results, to be honest, are scary! The hulls in front of 'Image 1' lit up like a Christmas tree! Bright pink everywhere indicating lots of active trypsin inhibitor. These ones I suspect have received no heat treatment at all and are totally unsuitable for horses. Yet they were packaged and sold specifically for horses. The ones in the back, you could see had received enough heat on the outside of the pellet to deactivate the trypsin inhibitor. BUT inside the pellets there was still pink indicating active trypsin inhibitor. I called the stable feeding these and told them to stop feeding the first pellet immediately. No wonder their horses had no muscle! This product, which they had been feeding for close to 8 months, would have been stopping a lot of protein digestion. And this is not theory you could SEE how much these horses were deficient in protein, despite their diet containing plenty of it. The second pellet (in the back) I personally wouldnt feed either. It will put your horse in a bit of a two steps forward, one or two steps back situation helping with energy intake but partially blocking protein digestion. When soybean is PROPERLY cooked, there should be ZERO trace of pink, as shown in 'Image 2'. The sample on the right here is of well extruded full fat soybean. The sample on the left is raw, ground full fat soybean. It is, of course, bright pink just to show how much the bean itself reacts with this colour test BEFORE it is cooked. THIS extruded soybean (on the right in Image 2) is how ALL soybean products SHOULD and in fact MUST look to be safe to feed to horses. By now, if you are feeding soybean hulls you may be feeling a bit anxious wondering if the brand you are feeding is OK or not it might be, but it may not be either. As you know, here at FeedXL we're not a fan of leaving things to guesswork. To help you find out for sure if your soybean product is safe to feed (or not), we've put together some resources for you over on our Knowledge Hub.

23.01.2022 I was thinking to myself as I was feeding my horses this morning, if I could talk to every horse owner in the world, for just one minute, what would I tell the...m? What is the one piece of information that would make the biggest positive difference to their horses life? And this is what it would be NEVER ride your horse on an empty stomach. Or said another way, always feed your horse hay or let him graze pasture right before you ride. Because for us, as humans, to exercise on a full stomach is really uncomfortable right?! We feel sluggish. We get a stitch. And it is just downright uncomfortable. So why on earth would I say to make sure your horse has a full stomach before you ride? Well, the thing is, horses and humans are completely different in the way we eat and in the way our stomach works. We (humans) are meal feeders. We eat food in distinct meals. While we eat, our stomach switches on acid production. Then when we stop eating, acid production is switched off. So we can go for a really long time (like overnight) without eating and its not an issue. And yes, it's more comfortable, for us, to exercise on an empty stomach. Horses on the other hand are grazers, or trickle feeders. They are designed to eat almost constantly over a 24-hour period. And will take only very short (less than 2 to 3 hour) breaks between feeding if left to feed naturally. Because of this, their stomach NEVER switches off acid production. And this is why you must not ride on an empty stomach. For a guide on how much to feed before you ride, here's a table of suggested amounts of hay, depending on your horses situation.

22.01.2022 Collection is important in order for your horse to do any sort of maneuver well. True collectionnot forcing a horses body into a specific framebegins with a ...horses hindquarters. In order for a horse to collect, he has to have impulsion, meaning that hes working off his hindquarters. When a horse moves with impulsion, he pushes himself forward with his hindquarters and he is light. A horse that lacks impulsion pulls himself forward and is stiff and heavy. Once a horse is moving with impulsion, then getting him to collect is straightforwardyou drive the energy from his back end to his front end. When a horse collects, he rounds his topline, his hindquarters come up underneath him and his shoulders elevate. The horse moves in a collected frame and optimizes all of his power.

16.01.2022 Everyone wants their horse to lope slowly, but they dont realize that the only way to make that happen is to let the horse practice loping. Horses dont get go...od at loping by standing in the barn or staying at the walk and trot. If you want your horse to lope slowly with cadence to his feet, you have to let him practice loping until he gets good at it. - Clinton #ApplyTheMethod See more

15.01.2022 Is flexing your horse vertically or flexing a horse laterally left and right all the way to your stirrups all you can do with these exercises. If a rider wants ...his horse to go straight, either forwards or backwards, then the head and neck would need to be straight in line with the rest of his back bone .... in other words the horse needs to be straight. Bringing your horse into vertical flexion tells the horse you are about to do something formal ie. I am asking him to give me his attention. This allows the bit to position over the bars of the horses mouth in the best possible position to maintain control. With lateral flexion (and through repetition) a horse will come to understand that if I place his head at one oclock I am preparing to walk, trot or lope to the right. Conversely eleven oclock would be preparation to walk, trot or lope to the left. My voice and leg cues will then indicate which gait. If I place his head at 2 to 2.30 this is preparation for a roll back or turnaround to the right, and 9.30 to 10 is preparation for a roll back or turnaround to the left. Where I visually focus, my body position and the difference in voice cues will let my horse know whether I plan to rollback or turnaround. Vertical flexion going forwards allows the rider to gain roundness in the horses back via impulsion in the hind end. Lateral and vertical flexion in manoeuvres like the rollback or turnaround affects the radius of the turn and also contains any energy in the hind end. By building the horses toolbox he will know ahead of time precisely what is expected of him. This way he is confident about what is coming next ....it takes away the uncertainty, worry and stress about not knowing what is coming next. This requires from the rider - an understanding of the concept of flexion and a high degree of consistency. I see it as our job to study form and function to produce the most functional and athletic manoeuvres. But in saying that you can ride them with their body straight and do all the manoeuvres at a certain level but I have found it more effective to use both vertical and lateral flexion in a horses neck and body to enhance the efficiency of movement and their confidence.

11.01.2022 In this video, I show three common mistakes people make when adjusting shanked bits. I also show several features of western shanked bits (also known as leverag...e bits). This includes a demonstration of the purpose of a throatlatch as well as the proper adjustment. I show why adjusting the throatlatch too tight can be a problem for the horse. Chin straps can be adjusted too tight or too loose, both of which cause problems. I share the way I adjust my chinstraps. I also describe parts of a western shanked bit including the shank, the mouthpiece, the purchase and those mystery loops that are on some bits. Those extra rings, or loops, beside the bit are so that the shanked bit can be changed to a non-leverage bit. I describe what loose shanks and fixed shanks are and how to identify the difference. I hope this video helps you understand the adjustments and parts of a western shanked bit. https://youtu.be/YvJF_SxV-nY

10.01.2022 Lets talk about LIGHT HANDS. This photo is Macee McAllister, the 2019 NHSRA World Champion. Look at how shes holding her reins and then look at her face. H...er face is pure grit and try, yet her hand is soft as butter. Barely even touching the reins with just her tippy ends of her fingers. Why is this so great? Because light hands allow your horse to stay more balanced. Light hands allow your horse to work off the training that he has had and perform more fluidly. Lightness is just the absence of resistance. Think about it, the more resistance present in a relationship the more unproductive it is. ANY relationship. People, jobs, animals; all relationships. A barrel horse needs to be able to use its body and balance itself at many times during a run. If you are pulling on his face, he is unable to get his body into the position he needs to do his job. Less is more. Stay light. Be like Macee. See more

09.01.2022 The important thing to keep in mind is that youre not going to change who your horse is. Youre not going to get a 19-year-old gelding thats been stiff and du...ll his whole life to be an athletic, soft, supple, talented machine. Can he improve? Sure! Will he make a complete transformation? Its not going to happen, and it's not fair to expect that out of him. I cant turn a Volkswagen Beetle into a Ferrari. The fact of the matter is I have a Beetle it isnt a Ferrari. The Beetle worked fine when all I needed was a car to get me to the grocery store and back, but if I want to go a little faster and have better brakes and turning ability, I need to get a better car. At that point, I might move up to a full-sized car, and then in a couple of years, a sports car, and then a Ferrari. But I didnt go straight from the Beetle to the Ferrari. I gradually got there as my ability increased and my needs changed. The same concept of gradually progressing to working with a horse with a little more athletic ability and talent than your previous horse applies in the horse world. - Clinton #ApplyTheMethod

06.01.2022 I often get asked if when teaching a horse the Fundamentals can you work on the groundwork and riding exercises at the same time? People often wonder if its be...tter to teach all of the groundwork exercises first, and then start to work on the riding exercises. At the ranch, when we get horses in for training, we do nothing but groundwork with them for the first week. That week allows us to get a feel for the horse and to establish the basics of respect and communication. By the end of that first week, weve earned the horses respect and have built his trust in us. At that point, we continue to do Fundamentals groundwork and then start the Fundamentals riding exercises. The concepts you teach a horse on the ground carry over to under saddle work. If he understands a lesson on the ground, theres a much better chance of the lesson going well under saddle. That doesnt mean that you cant work on the groundwork exercises and the riding exercises at the same time, but Ive found spending a solid week focusing on groundwork first helps a horses training progress faster and smoother.
