In this month's podcast episode I'm talking colt-starting and bits—when to start using them, why, and how to know it's time to move up to the next step in training. Joining me is a very special guest: a precocious young lady named Morgan who reached out to me to educate herself about the whole process. Everyone has something to learn from this episode whether you're bringing up a 2-year-old like Pepperoni or working with a mature 10-year-old.

In this episode, I'll explain what "problem behavior" means in this context, and the difference between replacement training and punishment to extinguish problematic behaviors. This particular kind of training can often get better results than punishment—if your timing is good. Listen now to find out how it works, and how to apply it in three common scenarios.

You asked, so I'm answering! This week, I'm dedicating the whole episode to questions I got from listeners—from an owner who's fed up with his horse's buddy sour behavior to safety in the trailer. Plus, the answer to one question everyone seems to want to know about me is revealed. Enjoy!
In the last episode, I answered the question, "Did I get the wrong horse for me?" (If you missed it, go back and listen!) So you've decided your horse—whether he's too much horse, not enough horse, or is just downright dangerous—is not the right horse for you. Now what? Let's talk about where to go from here. Then, listener Q&A on what to do if your horse refuses to keep cantering—without escalating to a blow-up.

This time, podcast listener, Judy, wrote in asking the difficult question, "At what point should you give up on a particular horse? Or rather, did I get the wrong horse for me?"
