In this episode, a couple of my closest friends, Brenna DeGeer, Colorado Brand Inspector and long time horse trainer, and Brittnee Woodward, also a long time Colorado horse trainer, continue our talk through a highly controversial list of commonly held beliefs in the horse world. You may or may not agree with everything you hear, but that’s part of the fun.
Part 1 is in Episode 3.
Note: Not all of these are technically myths, but if they aren’t, they’re certainly more complicated than a lot of people think.
Here's this episode's list:
1. Natural horsemanship is the ideal way of training horses
2. Rope halters and bareback riding are better and more natural
3. Trail horses don’t need arena work
4. Anyone calling themselves a trainer knows what they are doing
5. Liberty training makes excellent horses
6. Small horses can’t carry big riders
7. Your horse is there to be your best friend and therapy session.
8. There are no bad horses, only bad riders
Here’s Part 1's list:
1. Draw Reins and other “headset” training devices are bad
2. Horses shouldn’t be blanketed in winter
3. Big bits are harsh
4. Rescue horses are just as good as any horse
5. Mustangs are just as good as any horse
6. You can’t ride papers
7. 30 day colt starting is enough time
If you need a horse trained, both of these ladies are good ones to talk to. You can look them both up on Facebook.
Brittnee’s info can be found at Old Glory Performance Horses. She also makes some amazing cowhide flowers and horseshoe art at Wild Hides on Etsy.
