Equine Training Magazines

I am a fan of two special magazines. One is The Eclectic Horseman and the other is Natural Horse Planet magazine. From reading the literature, you would think both of them would cover excellence in horsemanship. Eclectic Horseman claims to be about "whatever works", while Natural Horse Planet claims to be about Natural Horsemanship.

Well, Eclectic Horseman has a forum where people can talk about horsemanship and I post there as JRW. Let me tell you that if it isn't the Ray Hunt lineage of horsemanship, these people are going to jump all over you. Nothing about "well, did it work?" They beat me up when ever they get the chance.

Natural Horse Planet, however, has all kinds of training being covered. Their lead article this month is An Introduction to Behavior Based Horse Management. Read this and see if you don't want to read the rest:

With all these elegantly apparelled ‘Mr Fixits’ flitting about the planet from clinic to clinic like bees to honey we should surely be seeing problems disappearing at warp-speed ! And even if some do have a ‘romantic’ allure for the female owner, surely such composite wonderfulness must do more than just sell DVD’s or a plethora of other merchandise, mustn’t it ? And yet many, perhaps even most, of the horse behavioural problems continue.

Strange that.

At the Hinny Whisperer forum, you can talk about what ever kind of horsemanship you want. We won't put you down. We will ask questions.
