[QUOTE="flaboy+, post: 170470, member: 2489"] Interesting thread here I have been reading. I guess I fit the "old school cowboy" profile. Tape I broke my first horse at age 11 and second at age 12. The old way. This would have been around 1961. Here's the cycle, horse turns 2, get bridle on horse, get saddle blanket on horse, get saddle on horse, get foot in stirrup, get up real fast, hold on. Just getting back into horses after many years. I enjoy reading all the new and old ways of doing things. I did my training the old way because that is what I was taught and that is all I knew. I have heard alot of new things that seem to make the whole process much easier that I am sure I will try. I will be the first to admit I don't understand 2/3's of what the folks (horse) I have been around lately are even saying most of the time. I say "pardon my ignorance but I'm just an old cowboy, can you explain that to me"? Just picked up a year old filly Saturday. The owner is a big time performance horse producer and shower. He said "when you get ready to get someone on her back give me a call I have two guys I use". I looked at him and said "I will be the first one on her back". He gave me the look like "right". I maybe old and foolish but I will be the first one on her back and the first one on the yearling stud horse also. I don't land as softly as I used to so I will enlist some of the "new" technique's being used to hopefully cushion the blow. I will be the first on their backs. I enjoy reading about the old and new ways and I will incorporate some of both I assume. So you guys keep arguing and I will keep learning from you. [/QUOTE]
