You MUST end on a good note - even if you have to play a different song to do it - 4 Nov 2024

One training principle is that you MUST end on a good note. So what happens when you dive in to achieve a training objective like flagging a horse at a halt while at Liberty and the trainee simply will not let the lesson end on a good note. Well you shift gears - we could not get close enough to flag him so another option is to toss a rope across him at a halt at Liberty - this can be started from further away - got the rope across him a few times (did NOT want to catch him) but he again very seriously resisted learning what I was trying to teach. But you still NEED to end on a good note. So watch this video - just the very end of a very long two hour training session - to see how we ended on a good note when the horse very seriously resisted learning. Yes you MUST end on a good note - even if you have to play a different song to do it (so to speak.)

Training horses always involves some risk of injury (or even death) to the horse, the trainer, any spectators, equipment used, etc. - this risk is totally your own as you will be making your own judgements on what to do. As with any suggestions on any subject you must weigh them out for yourself and proceed accordingly - at your own risk.

Remember to intentionally, on purpose, learn of God each day by prayerfully reading, studying, and pondering upon God's word each day. Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend. Yes very intentionally, very much on purpose, become the friend of God. And have a blessed day!!
