					  <description><![CDATA[<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Start out by building a lesson plan to clip your horse's ears with electric clippers.&nbsp; Remember to start with simple steps and work toward your goal. &nbsp; The more steps you put in the lesson plan the easier it will be for the horse to accept NOISY, VIBRATING CLIPPERS IN HIS/HER EARS.</FONT></FONT></P>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[<P>You, being a horse owner, are a trainer. Simply by the habits you repeat every time you meet with your horse.&nbsp; You do the same things over &amp; over again pretty much the same way.&nbsp; The horse being a conditioned response animal will learn your habits and develop his own set of automatic responses to your cues if you repeat them consistently.<BR></P>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Horses are creatures of habit. And the habits they learn can be good ones or bad ones depending on who’s handling them. And whatever habits or patterns they have when they come to you can be changed if you go about it in a methodical, horse-logical way. If memory serves, one of the horses that taught me this was a Morgan stallion that belonged to a friend of mine. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Heeding is an attitude you have whenever you're around your horse as much as it is a technique for communicating with him on the ground. You start heeding your horse from the first moment you connect with him whether that's walking down the barn aisle to his stall or out in a field to catch him. ]]></description>
