"NT MASTER by Greg Barrington Before I write another arti- cle on horse training or problem solving, it is impor- tant that we establish a proper and stable founda- tion with which to work, just ~ asa building code establish- es guidelines for house con- struction so that the -result- ing structures remain firm and well anchored.

All 1 want to do is to pass on some of the knowledge I picked up from my Grandpa Sam and my Uncle. However, while we - may view today's training techniques as more humane, in reality many of them hark back centuries to a wealthy Athenian named Xenophon who lived from 427-354 BC. - Xenophon is regarded as the father of classical equi- tation and his. writings include the art of Horsemanship. He penned the following, which he believed in wholeheartedly: "Compulsion and blows inspire only the more fear and when horses are at all hurt at such times, they think that what they shied at SMALE - is the cause of the hurt." He also stated three rules which the wise horse person should use today. These rules state that: I) A man should in no way put himself in a situation where he will get injured. 2) The horse shall in no way be injured through man's anger...or any other way. 3) The horse must be put in a position where he feels good and is rewarded after training. These rules are part of the building code I talked about above and, by sticking to these rules, I am alive and well.

Xenophon also rec- ognized that work with hors- es was potentially danger- ous and he wrote: "care must be taken that the colt is gentle, tractable, and fond of man when he is sent to the rider. The training is gen- erally done at home by a sensible groom and, if the handler can arrange that hunger and thirst and horse- flies are associated by the colt with solitude while eat- ing, drinking "and delivery from irritation came through man's intervention, then a foal is bound nat only to like men: but to hanker after them. One should also han- dle those parts in which the ished, these body parts are those with most hair like the mane and the forelock. Secondly are the parts on which the horse has the least power of helping him- self when something hurts him. Let the groom or han- dler be under orders to also lead him through crowds and accustom him to all sorts of sights and all sorts of noises. If the colt shies at any of them, he must teach the horse that there is noth- ing to be afraid of by quiet- ing him and without impa- tience.
