WWW.SLDAVIDSONFARMS.COM CLINICS SAM DAVIDSON I HAVE HAD SEVERAL STUDENTS ASK ME ABOUT LEFT BRAIN RIGHT BRAIN - AS FAR AS TYPES OF HORSES WELL LET ME SAY THIS THERE ARE ONLY (3) THINGS WE NEED TO GET A HORSE TO DO WHICH IS THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL YOU MAY EVER WANT TO TEACH THEM 1/ FORWARD MOTION [AT A WA 2/FORWARD MOTION trot 3/ Whoa = Whoa is used as a command to stop, especially to an Horse, Explored theories about the two hemispheres of the brain and the ways that they differ in function and control of the body. According to recent research, right brain dominant and those who are left brain dominant process information and respond in different ways. Most theories suggest that right-brain dominant horses are guided by the more emotional, intuitive right hemisphere while left-brain horses respond in sequential, logical ways, guided by the left hemisphere. To a great degree, There personality is shaped by brain type. But don't let yourself confuse this with right handed and left hand and that is determined by the way a EMBRYO -neck is turned in there dams womb which will be the direction a colt will be able to turn easiest , THING OF A PREY ANIMAL WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ALL FEEL DOMINATED BY US OR THEY WOULDN'T EVER UN TRACK THEMSELVES WHEN SADDLED SO IF SOME ONE PUT A THIN ROPE HALTER AROUND YOUR HEAD AND & THEN ADD A CUT OFF FIBERGLASS [CATTLE SORTING STICK & A SAVVY STRING WITH A POPPER ON THE END . AND SOMEONE POPPED YOU DON'T YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE TRAINABLE AS WELL . // BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT A HORSE CAN FEEL A FLY ON HIS HOCK . THE 4 HORSES PERSONALITY'S # 1 FEARFUL - SCARED TO DEATH OF OWN SHADOW which are MORE guarded and cautious / and needs more personal space / and gets all of his confidence from ANOTHER BEING A PERSON OR ANOTHER HORSE .[THEY HAVE VERY LOW Self- esteem in there self ] BUT ONCE TRAINED HAVE LONG AND FOCUSED ATTENTION SPANS ... SO IN SHORT YOU NEED TO BUILD THAT PART OF THEM BEFORE REALLY STARTING THERE TRAINING #2 SOCIAL BUTTERFLY TYPE -[ THIS IS THE first to the gate GREETER -HE LIKES BEING rubbed & GROOMED ,AND OFTEN ENJOYS PLAYING WITH OTHER HORSES AND WELCOMES YOU INTO THERE PERSONAL SPACE AND ON THE OTHER HAND SEES NO PROBLEM WITH INVADING YOURS AS WELL . THEY STRUGGLE WITH ATTENTION SPANS . BECAUSE THE WORLD IS SO INTERESTING TO THEM SO TRAIN THEM WHERE THERE'S NOT MUCH GOING ON / #3 THE LONER - THIS IS THAT HORSE THAT JUST WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE THEY HAVE A DELAYED ACTION TO TRAINING AIDS , KINDA A DULL REACTION TO TRAINING / THEY GLARE AT YOU FROM THE SIDE ; MOST OF THEM KINDA HAVE A GLAZED LOOK IN THERE EYES / IGNORING YOU IS EASY FOR THEM . DON'T WANT THIS KIND OF HORSE / I WOULD SAY THEY REALLY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH CONTACT WITH HUMANS AS A WEANLING =YEARLING # 4 CHALLENGING type ] WHICH IS MY FAVORITE HAS A STRONG SENSE OF [SELF] LIKE FULL OF THEMSELVES TYPE HORSE /A LOT OF THIS CLASS are WORLD CHAMPIONS are this TYPE OF HORSE THEY ARE SOMEWHAT TERRITORIAL / CONFRONTATIONAL AND DON'T TAKE TO TRAINING AIDS SO WELL / THIS HORSE IS VERY CONFIDENT AND A OPPORTUNISTIC , ONE THAT WAITS TO CHALLENGE YOU AT EVERY TURNING POINT / ITS LIKE HE IS THINKING HE IS SMARTER THAN YOU / AND IN SOME CASES THEY WIN / COMEDY CORNER IF YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND HORSES FOR VERY LONG YOU WILL HEAR THE WEEKEND WARRIOR DOWN AT THE STABLES SAY / I HAD TO SELL THAT HORSE THEY WERE CRAZY - UNCONTROLLABLE - ETC. AND BY THAT STATEMENT YOU KNOW -- DON'T LONE A GOOD HORSE TO THEM /// IT MIGHT TAKE A MONTH TO GET YOUR HORSE STRAIGHTED OUT . But if you want to become a true horse trainer forget programs or DVDs or what anyone says and adopt a few mustangs TRIAL AND ERROR IS THE WAY THESE THE TEACHERS OF THESE [ DVD /CARROT STICK/ VISE BREAKER ] SELLERS LEARNED .. .. DID YOU THINK THEY WERE BORN KNOWING ? NEAT THOUGHT / BUT IT IS JUST THAT - A NEAT THOUGHT .. And by the time you have trained 10 of them you will be a trainer AND HAVE HAD 10 OF THE BEST- QUARTER HORSES - YOU WILL HAVE EVER OWN . WHERE DID YOU THINK THE QUARTER HORSES & PAINT HORSES CAME FROM .REALLY GOOD READING / "THE COMPLETE BOOK OF THE QUARTER HORSE ; by Nye "A true horse person that always approaches any horse with a POSITIVE ATTITUDE;and a light hand never pat them there not a DOG// RUB THEM THE WAY THERE MOTHERS DID WHEN THEY WERE COLTS/ AWAYS WITH THE HAIR GRAIN . # 1 RULE TO LIVE BY THAT WILL PULL YOU THROUGH // With every interaction we must realize we are teaching the horse good and/or bad habits. There are not any out right mean or uncontrollable horses; only horses that have trust issues. After all, horses are prey animals in a life or death struggle."By S.L. Davidson consistency is the key.

For I am rich
beyond my dreams;
My muddy face,
my worn out jeans
My life much more
than it seems,
For I have won the
herd's esteem.
***********************
This great herd
does not care
What labels or
designer Jeans I
wear,
Or if my jeans
should sport a tear;
THEY don't
STARE or ARCH
Their noses in the
air.
***********************
They live for the
time We spend in
the mud and dust,
For that is TIME
they learn to trust,
