A long time ago, there was a Cherokee man named Yahoola, who was a horse
trader in the East. The people knew when he was coming because of his singing and
the tinkle of bells he had braided in his ponies’ manes.
One day Yahoola became lost during
the early spring hunt when a snowstorm covered the mountains. Cherokee searchers
were unable to find him and gave him up for lost. Two seasons later Yahoola appeared
at his friend’s door and told how the Immortals had found him and taken him in.
Since he had eaten the Immortal’s food, he was unable to rejoin the Cherokee but
would come and visit periodically. Eventually the visits ended.
There were rumors of
the removal and the Cherokee said, "perhaps when we get to Indian Territory, we will
see Yahoola again" but they never did.
Some of the old
people say they hear someone singing and the tinkle of bells on soft summer nights in
Northeastern Oklahoma.

Teach Your Horse Perfect Manners
Author: Kelly Marks
Horses need to be taught the “the rules” of good manners. They can’t
be expected to automatically know what constitutes a human’s idea of
acceptable behavior. This is why Monty Roberts’ protégée, Kelly Marks,
maintains that people must learn to communicate with horses through eye
contact and body movements—a language horses can understand and one that
builds a foundation of empathy and trust between horses and humans. Teach
Your Horse Perfect Manners begins by explaining the philosophy and
concepts behind Kelly Marks’ techniques, then moves on to foundation
exercises and groundwork training—including “join–up” techniques—all
presented in easy–to–follow text and illustrations. The second half of the
book looks at specific problems and how they may be solved by using
considerate and consistent training methods. Kelly Marks, a former champion
jockey and show jumper, now trains horses full–time. |
