That is a problem with those "on-demand" expo type situations. ?I believe that Ken would normally take several days to accomplish this lesson. ?

I saw Ken do this at a horse expo a few years ago, a kiger

mustang, he was broke to ride.? Ken did lay him down, but

it didn't look too simple on that particular horse.? Ken

was sweating hard and parts of his clinic looked like it

might be dangerous for the average person who doesn't have

his experience.? I don't know if I'd try it after seeing

him in person.

An Issue of Trust

Teaching Your Horse to Lay Down

This is the greatest exercise Ken has ever taught. Horses

by nature ?

are a fright and flight animal. Watch a herd of horses

and you will ?

notice that there is one horse always responsible for the

frightening ?

situations. When he lifts his head to check a new noise

the others ?

will lift an ear. If he takes off, the rest of the herd

will follow. ?

When resting you will always see a few horses left

standing, while ?

some lay down. The ones left standing are again

responsible for the ?

herd. When a horse lays down on cue he is trusting us to

protect him ?

from danger and life threatening situations. He is

trusting you with ?

his life. This has an amazing impact on your relationship

with your ?

horse. If we could learn from them as much as they learn

from us and ?

lay our life down for our Master, we could change our

lifes forever.

Ken teaches simple and practical steps, building a solid

foundation ?

for this exercise. You will watch him teach a horse that

has never ?

previously laid down. As he takes you through each step

you will ?

learn to practice each lesson until your horse responds

smoothly and ?

quietly. Beau, Ken's paint horse stallion, is used to

teach you the ?

advanced cues for teaching your horse to lay down from

the saddle. ?

Ken shares exactly what you need to know when riding your

horse from ?

the ground up.

Your relationship with your horse will never be the same.

It could ?

change your life!
