i didn't see carrot sticks , only the string for it., saw lots of rugs and boots and everyday stuff, that's why i asked, i didn't see anything out of the ordinary. i think it is about supply and demand. If people want to buy carrot sticks or natural hackamores or rugs and boots, then they are sensible to sell them.

Oh crikey.
Puppy, I can get you pink halters (and isn't that hackamore simply the halter plus 15' of rope?) for $12, at a shop...you work the exchange rate out.
Someone is on a winner there, they are so easy to make too, why bother importing them?

I actually found the tips and tricks bit the best
Check out the grooming video
I'd love to see her attempt to groom my muddy, grumpy mare like that...

....hmmm ... something tells me that she isn't really a wild horse trainer
. I only have ferals come to me from time to time and I think they would kick my head in if I dealt with them like that - can't imagine what a wild horse would do. Do you think she has ever seen a wild horse?

I had to go back and look at the grooming video... If I'd groomed a horse like that when I used to get paid for it, i.e. did it really properly and how I would if I were giving a lesson, then I'd have got sacked
I'm sure she's got lots of good stuff to sell etc., but this isn't one of them. Hey ho.

Make sure you read the how to lead advice too
Apparently you must hold the rope so that you do not show them your nails because: [ QUOTE ]
they may view it as a threat by associating your nails with the claws of a predator.

On the subject of which, what about this this little gem of advice
[ QUOTE ]
Horses will behave in a variety of ways depending upon the situation. I have a horse who will lead beautifully through the iron gateway at the entrance of the field, but when it comes to going through the electric fence gateway, all hell breaks lose. Each time she rushes through we stop and do it again. This fear is undoubtedly caused by being zapped by the electric rope when her stomach gets the better of her. However, behaviours like this need to and can be rectified.
The problem for her is not approaching the gateway, it is when we are halfway through. She will get halfway and take off up the field, where she will stop and turn around after picking up the lead rope in her mouth to give to me! To help her with this, I lead her back to the gate and tie her lead rope to a piece of bailer twine attached to the fence, about 10ft away, making sure she is facing the gate. I then unhook the fence, talking the whole time and open up the gateway by moving to the other side. At this point Tegan backs up and tries to take off like usual, but because she is tied to a fixed point, she stops and faces me again. This allows her to concentrate on the situation, making her realise she is actually in no danger. I then hook the fence back up and repeat the exercise. It only takes me three times showing her this before she is leading calmly and safely through this gateway, so it is well worth the patience!

I once saw a horse tied to a gate with twine pull back. The twine didn't break and the gate came loose. How he didn't take his head off as it flew over him, or break a leg as he took off across the field I don't know...

Ach I tie my horses to gates all the time, and I don't use any silly baler twine either. Mine would never even think to pull back; they are trained to stand still when tied and they don't freak at anything. Horses for courses, but not sure if she is using this as a marketing tool in the UK whether she will do that well - we know what Brits are like
