Kerry O'Brien and the Meeker Mustang Makeover

<p>We offer these shows for free. If you think it’s worthy of a <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FUYYAMHPLE2VE">small contribution</a>, we sure would appreciate it.</p> <p>This is Episode 6 of Season 4, and in it, Jec talks with Kerry O’Brien, a Colorado trainer who is competing in the <a href= "https://www.meekermustangmakeover.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Meeker Mustang Makeover</a>.</p> <p>Kerry has been on the show before in which she talks about using <a href= "https://besthorsepractices.com/episode-17-positive-reinforcement/"> positive reinforcement</a> as a training method. We're glad to have her back!</p> <p>First, thanks to many of you who connected with us to offer feedback from <a href= "https://besthorsepractices.com/episode-5-mental-health-and-trail-riding-prep-with-amy-skinner/"> last week’s show</a> and the mental health initiatives we are talking about.</p> <p>Second, thanks to our title sponsor, <a href= "https://lucernefarms.com/">Lucerne Farms</a>, Maine producers of quality forage feeds.  But did you also know that they make chicken bedding. It’s called <a href= "https://lucernefarms.com/koop-clean/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Coop Klean</a> and it's not your everyday chicken bedding.</p> <p>Also, thanks to <a href="https://chillangel.com/">Chill Angel,</a> a Colorado company that makes luxurious superfine merino wool sleepwear, perfect for combatting hot flashes.</p> <p>I was really glad to hear about the Meeker Makeover. Some of you who follow Best Horse Practices or get the Cayuse Communications newsletter, might have heard <a href= "https://besthorsepractices.com/colt-starting-competitions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WiseAssWallace talk about colt starting competitions</a>. A lot of times, Wallace says, it is not set up for the success of the horse. And that’s a shame. Seems like Meeker and Kerry have the horses’ best interests at heart. So good to hear!</p> <p>We thank Sampson Moss and his business, <a href= "https://www.prairiewindhatworks.com/
