When you think about horse training or horsemanship schools, you
immediately think of Ocala, Florida. In fact, in Marion County, Florida,
you'll find a wide assortment of horse trainers and horse training
facilities that offer plenty of horsemanship clinics and horsemanship
schools. Whatever approach you're looking for – whether it's natural
horsemanship or traditional horsemanship – you'll find it in Ocala, FL.
So what makes Ross Falisi and Dawn Falisi, P.T., stand apart all the other traditional horse trainers and natural horse trainers? Proven results. They've blended the brilliance of the world's original true horsemen, such as Xenophon, with today's scientific knowledge of the horse – including psychology, anatomy, and kinesiology – to arrive at a multifaceted system that reflects the original intent of the natural horsemanship movement. And because Ross Falisi and Dawn Falisi, P.T., have created a scientifically based horsemanship system, it works with all disciplines, all breeds, and all personalities. If you're the owner of a so-called "problem horses," you now have a better option than the traditional horse trainer you may have turned to as a last resort. THE TRUTH: Traditional horse training relies on pain and force, and usually ends in brutality. You've seen horses that have endured this training before; they're afraid that a mistake will lead to painful repercussions. Their fear causes mindless obedience, and their lackluster attitude can be mistaken for compliance. Wondering if a trainer belongs in this category? Simply ask him why he's doing what he's doing. He'll usually respond by saying, "that's the way it's always been done," or "it will teach him a lesson," – as if the horse knows why it's being punished. The natural horsemanship movement came about to save the horse from this type of brutality. Originally, it was intended to use the horse's natural instincts as a training tool – so learning became easier and pain and force were avoided. Unfortunately, that original goal has been lost. Today, two factions of these so-called natural horsemen rule the airwaves and expo circuit. The first group features "trainers" who treat 1,200-pound horses like 10-pound Chihuahuas. You can see the problem here. A misbehaving Chihuahua can't do much bodily harm, but a horse that does not respect humans can be a life-threatening danger to the trainer, the student, and everyone he encounters. It all boils down to a misunderstanding of horse psychology. THE TRUTH: A horse that lips you isn't showing affection or trying to bond – he's testing his boundaries. Many of these natural trainers don't know the difference, and some are dead or have been seriously disabled as a result. The second group has brought training full circle, back to its traditional roots – they've convinced many eager-to-learn horse owners that pain, force, and compulsion are natural. No matter how desperate you are for help with your equine partner, beware the marketing genius of these trainers. Just ask yourself why the horse is responding. For example, is he being hit in the face with a "Happy Stick"? Is he wearing a special bridle that causes pain in several places on his head? THE TRUTH: Just because someone tells you a training technique is "natural," doesn't make it so. And just because a training tool carries a hefty price tag, doesn't mean you should buy it. Be careful out there! Don't be afraid to ask a trainer why he or she is using a training technique. If the trainer can't give you a scientific reason for his or her methodology, move on. After all, you are looking into "natural" horsemanship because you want what's best for your horse, not because you want to adopt the latest fads or belong to the coolest club. Don't get discouraged! You CAN have a relationship of profound trust and respect with your horse, and get the top performance your horse is capable of giving. Don't give up! The students of Falisi Horsemanship™ have found the answers to their questions. Ask us anything! Our answers will be based on countless hours of research and practical application of training techniques that are born from a horse's anatomy, psychology, and kinesiology. We've created an effective and scientifically based system of horsemanship that is unlike any training you've ever experienced. Most of our students have turned to us after experiencing inconsistent or unacceptable results elsewhere, and they leave here with a new, deeper understanding of what true horsemanship really means. We'd to thank each and every one of these good-willed horse owners -- as well as their previous "trainers" -- for the opportunity to share the most comprehensive horsemanship system in the world. |
