smbeavis –
Hi Emily, Being an avid reader of the Eclectic Horseman Magazine, eagerly looking forward to its arrival with enthusiasm and the knowing that another piece of the horsemanship puzzle will fall into place by reading and studying the articles within.
I would like to mention all the mind boggling articles that I have read but will choose one by Dr Deb Bennett, Ph.D that influenced me greatly. The article “Bogus ideas in riding and training.” I have gone back to this article many times and each time it is read something new is learned. The Dorsal Ligament System and its functions, from tongue to hind , braces in tounge, jaw and poll, and the outcome of such in the hind joints. Wonderfully written by such a knowledgeable person. Thank you so much for all the articles they all help us grow into better humans for our horses. Best wishes from Spain.
