Let me explain what I mean about having natural leadership ability and the importance of this when working at liberty.

Someone called me and asked if they could get any benefit training their horse with my system from watching the DVDs alone even though they did not have previous horse experience. So I asked him
some questions and from his answers I felt safe to say I thought that in his case, the DVD would be of some benefit although I could not be sure of that. It turned out that the DVDs were helpful and did the trick for him. He got all his stallions trained.

The questions I asked were:

• Do you have a well trained dog? (It turned out he had a dog and a cat)

• Does the dog behave in the house?

• Does the cat not claw the furniture?

• Does your wife love and respect you and do your children honor you and did they grow up independent and happy and able to fit into society and serve the community?

He answered “yes” to all these questions and that let me know he had the basic skills needed in life. He made the choices in leadership that create order, harmony and respect. He did not even think that my questions were strange and that was a tip to me that he knew what he needed to have to be able to make good leadership choices with horses. What I understood from his answers was that his assessments on how to lead and support were all in place. Robin Gates, one of my students and an instructor of my Methods, can be seen on YouTube working with different horses. What you see Robin doing looks simple but takes years of practice. My aim is to inspire people to see the benefit and take the long journey to become a student in learning my Method. The practice of the Waterhole Rituals™ is life-changing and brings a great spiritual understanding and personal empowerment from learning the art of connection and leadership. It is very important to know what you know and know what you don’t know. This will keep
you safe and help you make the right choices to gain a magical connection with your horse.

What is important to understand is that if you cannot clearly understand the purpose of each Ritual and how you would use it to get a desired response from your horse it is better to take lessons and not try to carry on by yourself with them. If the rituals do not work easily for you, stop and seek lessons with a qualified instructor like myself or Robin.
