That along with husbandry/handling skills is what has taken the modern zoo away from the roadside zoo stigma. Lincoln Park, Milwaukee, Bronx, etc, are a couple that have improved using the same philosophy going away from the sometimes outdated Bernhard Grizmik green tile/lap look or the Bern bear pit/menagerie look which was popular long ago. Progressive and cutting edge in it's day, out dated thirty years later. Such is the world of animals, and our quest to provide them with a proper environment.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Wade BurckWade G.

Th...Wade, I know of Mr. Northcutt's rep quite well. The head carnivore person out here showed Northcutt trained saddlehorses in five-gait classes when she was a girl. So we discuss the game all the time. In fact, for Christmas I gave her a copy Arthur Konyot's book. Thought she'd enjoy it since most Konyot horses were Saddlebreds.<BR/>I agree about those books from the old masters and the relationship between all species training. I think I remember Buckles saying that Mac MacDonald got advice from a horse trainer when he trained his first group. As I mentioned to you before I have gotten alot out of a oxen book by Drew Conroy and the Circensic Dressage guy has been raving about the dog whisperer. All that to say we can all learn from or appreciate each other if we get over whatever prejudices we have, and I see this problem all to often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-54994172163675764812008-04-05T11:01:00.000-04:002008-04-05T11:01:00.000-04:00i agree with you Mr. Burck . one book i have was ...i agree with you Mr. Burck . one book i have was written in 1892 where the author state where he was able to train giraffes and all kinds of excotic with the same basic method as training a capyberra .he states using dukies and being able to read them and the animal in return be able to know what you are asking or want from them .

Jim A should find it of interest that he parlayed those gated horse skills into the field of sealions and elephants.<BR/> The field of horse training has been well documented for 100's of years. Unlike other forms of "animal training", with the exception of Falconry. If you read one good book by one of the old masters, of these two art forms, you would be able to train anything from a rat to a dolphin, to a tiger, to an elephant to a national champion cutting horse. The principals are exactly the same, and only the methods differ. It's the elusive thing called understanding/feel.<BR/>Your friend,<BR/>Wade BurckWade G.
