A Real World Fix for an Attitude Issue (Episode 301) - Herm Gailey: A Lifetime with Horses

Several months ago we posted a ride showing the problems we encountered when preparing for a first ride on "Sparky." He sent us enough negative signals that we decided to fix the problem before we put a rider on his back. Here is the process. It isn't particularly pretty or particularly "sensitive," but observe the change in attitude. In the end I believe it was both necessary and useful. Let us know what you think. About Herm Gailey: Herm Gailey has spent a lifetime with horses. He is a nonprofessional rider who starts and trains his own horses to successful careers in multiple disciplines. Away from the show ring Herm retains a deep respect and appreciation for good reliable trail riding horses and believes that all horses benefit from this type of riding. There is nothing for sale here. If these videos allow one person to avoid fear, frustration, or injury or help one horse get a better deal, then that is payment in full.
