Re: RC: Kicking

[sharp penny <penelope_75647@yahoo.com>]

    I think you have missed the point. The posts I
have read all suggest punishing the horse, but there
is a right and a wrong way to do this. Both Jim and
Terre gave excellent ways to correct this problem.
    As far as the NH pros, I can only speak for the
John Lyons approach. He has a 3 sec rule that you are
allowed to "kill" your horse in. Believe me it works.
I was at one of his clinics a few years back. Someone
brought him a very rank stallion to work with. We got
to see first hand how John used the 3 sec rule. I will
never forget this as long as I live...I was in fear
for that stallions life for those 3 seconds...that's
how effective John was.
