Words of Wisdom (Warning - long text ahead!)

1. Some of the ol' cowboys (and cowgirls) curse on their site or in their videos. This blog will not link to such language on purpose. I cannot and will not go to every page and every article and every video to censor for you.

2. Many sites with good information were created to sell. Be prepared to search for the information. Only you are responsible for any purchases you make and whatever you sign up for.

3. ALWAYS treat these sites purely as information, it is just information. What they are telling you are theoretical and factual methods of achieving various objectives in the Equine World. Theories or facts do not make you experienced. Practical work does. It is your choosing to learn the theories/facts and work them out to see the results (or not) for yourself.

4. The information provided by this blog is for educational purposes only. There is no expressed or implied fitness for a particular purpose other than for your own education.

5. You alone are responsible for the risk and outcome from the use or performance of the information.
