1) My EQ is "What is most important to becoming a successful western horse trainer?"
2) Important - qualities and/or aspects that are necessary and fundamental.
Successful - being proficient by having the ability to maintain clientele, be well known, educate people on the methods used in your way of training, and have an effective way of training horses that proves to be natural and basic.
3) Some possible answers to my EQ so far are:
- time to be consistent
- control of any emotions that may effect your horse
- confident leadership
Right now they aren't very specific, but I hope to make them more specific as I continue to research this topic.
4) My most important source so far has been a documentary called "Buck". I recently watched this movie on Friday, and it has really changed the way I look at western horse training. The movie is about Buck Brannaham, a horse trainer from Montana that believes in natural horse training, meaning he thinks that horse and rider should have a strong bond of trust and boundaries. He works at the horse's level, with the horse's thoughts in mind. He makes it so that the horse can make sense of everything, and shows them that there is nothing to fear. In no way does he use force, dominance, or aggression when working with his horses. He has a way to solve any problem that a horse can throw at you. It truly inspired me.
Yippee ki yay!!
