Hello. I am Leroy Blackwell, president of Goshen Enterprises, the company that markets the Barnes Trainer. I am posting on this message board to give everyone an opportunity to ask me questions about the Barnes Trainer and to aid in the discussions that you are having. You can visit us at http://www.barnestrainer.com/index.html and you can find testimonials from trainers and customers at http://www.barnestrainer.com/testimonials.html. I am including a short paragraph about the bridle to get the discussion started. Please allow me to answer any questions that you may have. Feel free to personally contact me at info@barnestrainer.com. There is also a FAQ page on our website http://www.barnestrainer.com/FAQ.html.
The Barnes Trainer is used as a trainer to reduce a horse's desire and ability to buck. It is being used successfully by professionals and novices as well. It works with a system of cables that encircle the horse's ears at their base with cable loops hanging down below and on either side of jaw. Then a small rope or strip of leather is tied to one loop, back to the saddle horn, dallied once and ends at the other cable loop making a second set of reins. The horse squeezes his own ears with a downward motion of his head causing him to lose interest in bucking. The trainer is worn underneath a bridle. It is by no means a cruel device. It only discomforts the horse until he lifts his head and then the pressure is released.
Thank you for your time,
Leroy Blackwell
President

Where the hell did this come from? This thread is over 2 months old and he just NOW comes on to defend his product? I still think it's a cruel contraption IMO.

We would never advocate placing any inexperienced rider, particularly a child, on a horse that is known to buck. We clearly state the precautions to take with young children, inexperience riders, or older adults regarding choices of horses to ride.
IMHO, The point that is being passed over is that any horse will buck under certain circumstances, even a horse that is well broken. People have been hurt very badly after being bucked off a horse "that never bucked before". Many people would ride their well broken horses if they were not afraid from a previous bad experience or just afraid in general.
We believe many people will experience the joy of riding a horse again or even for the first time if they were more assured that they would not get bucked off----hopefully in addition to getting training, but you cannot enforce that riders seek training.
This product is for people to enjoy riding horses if they are NOT experts, but would like to ride for pleasure a horse that is well broken and possibly is not even known to buck. Experts like the people posting on this site are few and far between. Other people who are much less experienced will still like to ride.
The commercial was meant to be eye-catching and exciting. That is why a bucking horse is portrayed in it.
I can either post in some testimonials here to explain what people have bought it and used it have said or you can go to our website. We have another page of testimonials coming out in just a matter of days that are from regular customers---not just professionals.
We only hear great things. Some people posting either do not get the way it works..... but your comments are way off compared to what we hear from people who have used it.

Go to the main "general discussion" page and then push "new topic." But I would zip up your flame suit... People here don't pull any punches. Read the thread from the beginning. We are mentioned repeatedly in the thread. I would only post a comment about the Barnes Trainer on threads where we were discussed.
