Was he the world's greatest horse trainer of all time?
Would his picture be in the horse trainer's Hall Of Fame?
Perhaps.His name was Jesse Beery.
Before he was twenty he became a world class horse trainer.
He was so well known, there were more people who heard of him than didn't.Jesse Beery learned how to train horses almost entirely on his own because there were few people who knew how to train a horse.
Beery's parents discouraged horse training as a career but later okay'd his passion.
From then on there was no stopping Beery from achieving greatness.Beery's first inclination to train horses happened when he drove a horse and buggy to a friend's house.
As Beery exited the buggy the horse spooked and ran home.
During that long walk home Beery was
determined to make his horse stay put.As he worked with his horse he discovered ways to get a horse to do what he wanted.
Although nearly killed in training incidents and laughed at from friends and neighbors, Beery soon became THE authority on horse training.Beery's methods solved numerous problems with horses that seemed unsolvable.
If a horse was hard to shoe, ran away, pulled while tied, spooky, and more...Beery knew how to fix it.As if his accomplishments weren't enough to keep him busy, Beery wrote a Horse Training manual describing how to do what he did.
Unfortunately, few copies exist today and those that do may be hard to read due to the poor condition of these very old books.
Beery's book may be available in used book stores if one is motivated to search.
Be prepared for a time consuming search - but if a Beery book is found in good condition,
be ready to pay a handsome price.There may be an alternative.
Beery's book was recently revived by horse trainer Andy Curry.
Curry discovered Beery's book in a used book store by accident.
Curry says, "This is one of the most amazing books I've EVER read about horse training.
Beery explains his methods so clearly it's like he's there with you...holding your hand...showing what to do.
Every responsible horse owner should have a copy of this book -
period!".

Hollywood Horse Stories
A recent Hollywood rumor was that Tobey Maguire injured his back during the making of Sea Biscuit doing horseback riding scenes, making him unable to star in the sequel to Spider-Man. Although it turned out to be false, he rode a mechanical horse in the film, many actors have had close calls working with horses. One example was Michael Caine, whose first movie Zulu (1964) required him to ride a horse after a hunting expedition, which after several embarrassing takes almost bought his career to a premature end. "I thought you said you had riding lessons!" said the angry director. "I did!" said the beleaguered star.
"And the first thing I learned was I never wanted to ride one of these bloody things again!" He wasn't the only one. Jack Nicholson took a hard fall in The Missouri Breaks (1976) which he shrugged off saying,"It would have hurt if I was a real person instead of a movie star." Some performers get along famously with their horses, the relationship can go on for years....
