This question is for Col. Herriott. Is this what's refered to as "riding from the back to the front, with a roundness in the spine"? Also, is this the "chewing of the bit", one would strive for, indicating relaxation, and submission? Would you recommend the German, or Iberian methods, to achieve these results? As you have helped me greatly in the past, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Wade Burck

I could pretend to be Rebecca and say that all the jackasses ended up on the same page, but I do not know the parties involved and would never say anything like that.cc

In reply to your flattering comment Mr. Burck I would suugest what an old time mule skinner told me some years ago. "to get them to go, just light a little brush fire under them, and to get them to stop, use a baling wire bit".

Now to the fancy names of methods in equine education I must point out that I have never been affluent enough to have those fancy breeds and could probably be known as the "poor mans horse trainer" and would suggest that my main breed in training would be "grade horses" or I would suggest have commonly been referred to as,"You camesl necked walleyed banged tailed range bred SOB". Some times if we can't get their attention we would use strong language.

Now I believe your associate Mr. C would be more familiar with the fancy expensive breeds and am sure he couls expound quite extensively in his great knowledge of this or other subjects as well. I hope I have enlightened you. Sincerely. John Tanglefoot Heriott.

To Wade; Its amazing the extension that a horse with both front legs coming out of the same shoulder and with stifle and dropped hocks can have.

Unohoo, I'm glad I reread your poste. I read it quickly the first time, and thought you were describing a white tiger. Wade Burck

P.S. Col. Tanglefoot, after consulting Professor C, he recommend's putting your shoe's on the opposite feet. Something about, if the toes are pointed out wards, the less chance they will become entangled. My very best to you and your family. Wade Burck

P.P.S. Anonymous, Be patient. If I can get Buckles and Jimmy Hall to comment, we'll have your full-up jackass page. Wade Burck
