Experiences Along the Way
by Joe Andrews
Andrews nontraditional approach to training horses develops a
relationship with a horse based on trust, understanding, and
communication. It comes from adjusting to fit the individual horse you
are dealing with at any particular moment. "If it were possible," says Joe,
"I would sit down with you on a grassy hillside in the warm afternoon
sun and swap stories about the horses we have ridden. Short of that, I
offer you the stories in this book," because the best way to explain is to
share actual experiences.
Some of those experiences include:
- Learning how horses tell us when they are ready for the next step
- Developing a horse's ability to understand
the trainer's intent through feel
- Taking a foal from panic to understanding
- Using different approaches to find the
solution to a particular problem
ANDREWS trains horses professionally and raises
Missouri Foxtrotters at their Mountain Magic Ranch in Colorado. Both
he and his wife, Kim, also give lessons.
Joe specializes in teaching groundwork using pressure and release
methods, and also conducts trail clinics. He has been published in Trail
Rider magazine and other publications.
"Joe uses consideration, caring, and respect for the horse and in so
doing shows us all that to get a soft, connected relationship we
must first be willing to be soft ourselves. ...Understanding the
differences in horses will enhance our ability to recognize the
differences in all our relationships . . .and should cause all of us to
reflect on the techniques we have used 'along the way'."~~
