Back in the day before automobiles, a good horse trainer and veterinarian was the equivalent of “Mr Goodwrench”. A badly behaving or unhealthy equine was equivalent to breaking down on the highway or running out of gas on a lonely stretch of highway somewhere in Utah. My sources tell me that most of the training methods are ok, but stay away from the medical tips unless you are prepared to become the poster boy or girl for the local SPCA. Listen with tongue in cheek, and check with a professional before attempting any of these techniques on a real animal. (Mike Vendetti, narrator)

Step back in time to an era when skilled horse trainers and veterinarians were the unsung heroes of the battlefield, akin to today’s “Mr. Goodwrench.” Just like a car breakdown on a desolate highway, a misbehaving or ailing horse could spell disaster in the heat of war. While many of the training methods discussed here are solid, its best to tread carefully with medical advice unless you want to become the local SPCA’s poster child! Tune in for a lighthearted listen, but remember to consult a professional before trying any techniques on real animals. (Mike Vendetti, narrator)
