Frank Martinez commented on Gail Morse's group Riders Over 60
"I deal with an adopted BLM mustang that I've had for 7 years come July 31st.  Which is when I got involved with horses. Though I rode as a teenager, and got into 2 rodeos in my early 20s.  He's now 10 yo.  We do not…"

Frank Martinez replied to Megan Hammock's discussion Bitten! in the group Body language
"Megan, You're very welcome! Paraphrasing Monty Roberts, "Join-Up happens when a horse decides to be with you because he wants to; not because he has to.  Needless to say, there's much more to it than that!  For a much better…"

Frank Martinez replied to Megan Hammock's discussion Bitten! in the group Body language
"Being far from "expert", but let me suggest you use "quit" versus "no".  "No" sounds too much like "whoa".  It works for me.  And has for quite a while.  IMO your horse may…"

Frank Martinez replied to Ellen Ofstad's discussion Calming signals: A little background and introduction in the group Body language
"My horse behaves much the same - will resist moving, except at the walk.  I have to imitate him trotting in order to get him to trot.  Talking about ground work, of course.  But when being ridden he loves the trot!  And I…"

Frank Martinez replied to Ellen Ofstad's discussion Calming signals: A little background and introduction in the group Body language
"Hi jennifer - When you say "put the pressure on", what exactly do you mean - how or what do you do, physically?  I can agree in priciple, but I cannot picture it in my mind's eye.  Please, some detail."

Hi Frank,

The easiest way to add a photo is to add it from among the saved photos on your computer. To do that, you click to browse, which will take you to your computer. You then select the photo you want to add and double-click. You then click Save.

To add videos from YouTube - very easy. Go to the vide on YouTube. There will be an Embed Code. Copy it. Then go to the video section of Barnmice, Click on add a video from YouTube. A box will open. That's where you paste the embed code that you copied from YouTube. Save. The video will automatically be added to Barnmice.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. :)
