Jan/11 Q&A: What is the most common issue you see with your clients and their horses?

The most common issue I see is rearing problems.

I begin by having them do a thorough dental inspection by a competent vet or dentist since most rearing horses have bad teeth.

Once that is eliminated, I teach the understanding of how a horse rears. The horse’s weight must be on the hind end. By simply getting control of the hind quarters/engine and moving it laterally, this puts the weight forward onto the forehand. Bingo.

All about control of the engine, turning it off when necessary and on when time to get to work.

As a child, a twist of fate blessed Frank Bell with the gift to befriend even the fiercest canines. As an adult, that fate (and gift) again nudged Frank, this time in the direction of the equine. From that moment forward, Frank Bell never looked back as his career in the horse world exploded. Frank quickly became one of the premier respected horse trainer masters in the most significant revolution in horse training and handling techniques to come along for hundreds of years.

Frank Bell's 7-Step Safety System has helped thousands of horses and their owners worldwide to bridge the communication gap. This remarkable system of horse training exercises immediately puts both parties on higher ground. Instead of riding in fear, horsemen and women are now riding in greater confidence. Most importantly, safety is always at the forefront.

Horse whisperer Frank Bell has been featured on all major networks, in numerous newspapers and horse magazines, and on Fox TV live in New York City just before the movie The Horse Whisperer hit the theaters in 1998. A follow-up three-part series reporting on Frank’s 7-Step Safety System in Western Horseman magazine catapulted Frank into the international arena by the end of the last century.

Bell says, "My mission is to help horses and humans on all levels become more grounded in a world that is ever more rapidly heading in the opposite direction."
