How To Get Your Horse To Obey You and Look To You For Instruction
In the animal kingdom there is a pecking order.
Richard Shrake points out that it's a lot like the military.
He ranks in the pecking order go from General down to Private.
The General will get first pick of the food, decide where to go and when, and so on.
The "second in command" will act just like the General but he won't pick on the General because the General dominates him.
This string of command continues all the way down to the bottom of the pecking order.
Any time a new animal comes into the group then the pecking order shifts.
Knowing this information, you can use it to your advantage.
You can make yourself the leader in the horse's eyes.
He'll look to you for instruction.
He'll obey you. If you have a dominant horse it will be instinct for him to let a more dominant being make the decisions.
In this case the dominant being will be you.
You will become leader by using your body language to show you are confident.
Being dominant doesn't mean you're being aggressive.
On the other hand, if your horse is the General, you may have to be more assertive.
Make sure your horse doesn't think you're a threat.
It's easy to come across as threatening when you're being assertive.
If your horse feels threatened he'll fight back and you can't win. And if you are doing horse training, you will find it hard to get results.In the wild, dominant and aggressive horses will make their bodies tight and make sudden moves with fury while getting into the other horse's space.
The weaker horse will concede and move out of his space.
Think of it as the General screaming an order and the Private is obeying. Slow movements tend to draw one horse to another.
Horses express calmness with relaxed, slow steps.
This is how they welcome other horses in their space.
If a horse is trying to show you he's the General you may see a clamped-down tail with pinned ears.
To get him to accept you as the General you will move him out of his space.
You do this by matching any quick moves he makes with your own quick moves.
The trick is to make the first strike before he does.
One way to do this is with a quick arm movement towards him ? almost like you're violently shooing away some pesky flies.
Also, you can use an aggressive tone of voice towards a horse if he's being aggressive. How can you tell if he's conceding to you?
If he turns his head or drops it, relaxes his tail, begins chewing, or takes a deep breath, then that's how you know.
If any of these happen he's saying, "Okay, I'll do what you say because I want to listen to you."
Pay attention to these clues that tell you your horse is in the Private mode (the follower) instead of the General mode.
When you go into the round pen to work with your horse first check to see how he responds to you.
If he rubs his head on you or swings his rear end toward you then he's challenging your position in the pecking order.
If you're with a horse that's not dominant you want to make sure he has confidence.
Thus, be very careful not to be threatening..

Held captive by Comanches: A Real-Life Account that Shaped a Family’s Destiny
Denver, CO (ContentDesk) January 28, 2006 -- One morning a fierce band of Comanches attack Mapimi, setting the town ablaze, murdering the men, and kidnapping the women and children. We follow Lidia and her friends on their brutal journey to the Comanche village and the ensuing months of suffering at the hands of the Indian tribe. Lidia is given to an Indian named Tokono to be his wife, but after he is killed in a raid, she and her friends are taken to Colorado. Just outside of Fort Bent, they are discovered by the American frontiersman William Bent, who buys the women from the Comanches for a horse and a mule. By the time Lidia meets John Hawken at Fort Bent, she is nearly 1,500 miles from her birthplace, has lost all of her family, and does not know if her first husband is alive or dead.
It is at Fort Bent that Lidia and John fall in love, and Lidia agrees to live with him as his wife. As John and Lidia Hawken settle in Fort Pueblo, Southern Colorado, they soon find themselves...

NBC Retiree Moves to Prosser to Enjoy Wine Country
Prosser, Washington (ContentDesk) October 13, 2005 This is no ordinary retiree.
This exceptional NBC contributor entered the history books by being present at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
Many will recognize some of the famous NBC personalities that were also present at that time Bob Costas, Greg Gumbel, Jim Lampley and Hannah Storm.
Those who viewed the games saw some incredible accomplishments in summer sports.
This was the year that the U.S.
earned a total of 101 medals, including Michael Johnsons stunning 200-meter victory for gold, and also the record-setting four golds won by Amy Van Dyken for womens swimming.
During the entire two (2) week event, our newest resident worked tirelessly in the humid southern heat to provide a brief respite to his more famous peers from the climate and crowds.
The retiree in question does not receive a pension and will never qualify for social security.
