Heavy Traffic!

A piece I wrote is featured on Mugwump's blog today!  I wrote the piece back in June and to my surprise she posted it today.  I am very flattered that she thought my piece interesting enough to post.  Or maybe I was the last one on the pile.  Either way, I'm very excited!

It's amazing how much my blog traffic has increased today so I thought I'd post a little WELCOME to anyone who's coming over from Mugs and checking out my blog.

If you're interested in more about my early horse days (as described in the "Perspective" post) you can find "Past Horses/Experiences" on the View Posts By Topic section in the sidebar.  But no, there are no videos of that, maybe someday.  There ARE some videos on my YouTube channel and you can find a link to those in the sidebar.

If you want to know more about me or my current mount, the tabs at the top should help out.

If you'd like to read a summary of this blog from beginning to now, you can read the cliffnotes Timeline Summary tab.

Welcome!!!  I hope you found something interesting here today!

What The Friday!?!?! #6

Here for you consideration and amusement: The Equine Miracle Harness!!!!!

"The Miracle Harness is a miracle. It really works real good." Quote from YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28lMLK3RojY&feature=related

And just in case you were unsure of the meaning of the word MIRACLE:

One look at this Miracle Harness and you will be SURE to understand it's colossal potential and it will become your go-to training device! HOW have we trained horses for thousands of years without this!?!?! Surely Divine Intervention has given us this marvel!  Yes!  You can have total control over a horse "up to 1000 lbs"! 

This item, and I quote:

"allows the handler total control of both the head and body at all times."  

"Safely teach your horse the following concepts and commands while instilling confidence in the animal and handler, and making training more enjoyable for everyone!

Leading
Whoa
Backing
Loading
Stalling
Shoeing
Washing
Cross Tying
Trotting
And MUCH more!"

It gives you confidence that you can overpower a 1000 lb animal!!!!

Perfect for all the un-handled two year old cross-bred studs you can find on Craigslist! Get yours today!!!!

And yes, I know similar devices have been around for a while.  My own favorite Horsemastership book suggests using a lead rope or a simple rope loop behind the rear of a FOAL to help teach it to lead.  You can also purchase a sturdy looking FOAL leading harness HERE for about the same price. But with the Miracle harness....it's good for horses up to 1000 lbs!  Woot!

If you ever need....

.... a good cry and/or an emotional uplift, watch videos of little girls being surprised by getting a horse for Christmas or a Birthday.  Mind you locate the tissues before watching...
