I had done a little with Nevel but that was short lived and I haven&#8217;t had an opportunity since then.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am absorbed in the practice, the study and the art. Maybe not, but I am really fascinated. Every chance I have I watch videos and read up on it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetricks101.com\">This lady is my favorite<\/a>. Our last training sessions have been at liberty and we are working on some really fun stuff. I would show you but for that I would have to have someone to tape it or we would have more bad videos like the last one. On the bright side the lack of a videographer has meant that we will have many more tricks\/ skills to show when we finally get to.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I had the starting of horses fairly well down before but this opens up all sorts of possibilities. While I always taught my own horses fun things and installed extra buttons like pawing on command (hopefully leading to spanish walk someday, hadn&#8217;t gotten there yet but Coyote learns what he wants when he wants, Smoke went back to my mom and Nevel wasn&#8217;t around near long enough. And very useful for calving even if it never got as far as a spanish walk), putting their heads down to graze, or sniff a calf or find an ear of corn, on command and stepping over to the fence for mounting. I thought I was pretty cool and they had lots of extra stuff, that was nothing. I can&#8217;t wait to see where we end up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last time it was all theoretical.
