INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Depending on the age of a horse, training should only be done for about half an hour at a time. Think about your own learning ability. Most people retain information delivered in smaller sections, and horses do too. Additionally, the bit will likely feel uncomfortable to your horse at first, so it's best to limit the amount of time with the bit in the beginning. The bulk of your thirty minute session should be a simple warmup. Younger horses may do better training for fifteen to twenty minutes at a time. Better trained horses may be able to handle larger periods of training, especially if you extend the warmup. If the horse becomes stressed and starts tossing his head or excessively chewing at any point during your training session, then take the bit out and give the horse a break. It is important to avoid any stress or fear for your horse during the training process. Maintaining a positive experience for your horse will help him to accept the bit rather than fear it. Many trainers start off training the horse on the bit, and if you've decided to do this, it is even more important to start with simple movements that your horse is becoming familiar with. If you're training an older horse, warming up with the basics creates an association in your horse's mind between their "usual" ride and how this "new" ride is connected. During the warm up, you'll need to start with simple forward motion and check for straightness, rhythm, and contact. This is the key to a successful training session or ride. If you gently squeeze the side of your horse and it starts directly forward, you're all set. If a gentle squeeze does not start your horse forward or your horse is fighting the bit instead of moving forward, you may need to provide reprimand and reinforcement. Always avoid squeezing harder and harder to urge your horse forward. In the long run, this will leave you with a poorly trained horse and an exhausting ride. When the horse does not move forward, you can use a riding crop, tap with your leg, or whatever method of reprimand you choose to use with your horse. Give them a firm "no" movement. Then, try squeezing again, gently. Maintain gentle contact with your horse using your leg so that the horse can feel you at multiple points. This will let him know that you are still communicating with him. As soon as the horse moves forward with a gentle squeeze, reward them with encouraging words like, "Good job." You can also have a helper offer them a small treat, if this is something they've been struggling with. Once your horse begins to move forward, you'll need to make sure the hind feet are following the same line as the front feet. This is called straightness, and it is how you can determine whether your horse is comfortable moving on the bit. If you notice curving of the spine when your horse is moving forward or spinal stiffness as it turns, your horse is not straight. Bring it to a halt, reassure it, and start again. Repeat until the horse's movement is straight. Also, make sure to check for points of tension or stress along the horse's neck muscle and through his back. If you notice any signs of stress or tension, then this may mean that the horse is uncomfortable with the bit and how it is sitting. For a well-trained horse, a change in spinal straightness may be the only way to tell that it is not truly accepting the bit. Because the horse may not otherwise "fight" the bit, changes to the alignment of the spine and coordination of the back and front legs will let you know the horse is struggling. Every horse is unique, but no matter what your horse's natural rhythm is, there should be equal intervals between each step. If you notice a halting or jerking quality as your horse moves, their rhythm may be off. To determine comfortable rhythm, count your horse's steps. As you count one, two, three, four, there should be even spacing and smooth flow between the beat of each hoof. If the horse's rhythm is off, slow or stop it. Then, begin again, increasing speed gradually. If you play a musical instrument, counting your horse's rhythm is very similar to how you count a measure of music. This musical experience may give you an advantage in determining when one beat is too long or too short. Known as contact, this may be the most important part of your warmup. If your horse isn't connected to you, responding easily to your commands and concentrating on following your lead, they are not going to be as successful with more advanced instructions. Your hold on the reins, posture, and leg movement all affect your connection with the horse. Be aware of every moment and how it impacts your connection with your horse. Keep the weight of the reins even between hands. This places consistent pressure on the bit, ensuring your horse will notice when you place more on either side to begin turning. Make sure that there is an equal amount of length on both sides of your reins. This will help to ensure that you are not pulling too much on one side or the other. Establish a consistent resting state of the reins. Your reins shouldn't be constantly pulled tight or left lax. Instead, find a happy medium between the two, and continue to hold this contact. Keep in mind that having good contact and a connection with your horse is not a given. Talk to experienced trainers, watch videos, and get help to work towards achieving this using proper methods. True connection takes time. You will not achieve this natural feeling of communication with your horse in one ride. Keep practicing every day.

SUMMARY: Keep sessions short. Make training sessions a positive experience. Warm up your horse with basics. Establish forward motion. Confirm your horse's straightness. Evaluate your horse's rhythm. Assess your connection to the horse.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Seal it tightly. If you have a vacuum-sealing machine, it will keep your bell peppers even fresher.
Summary: Lift the bell peppers from the parchment paper with a spoon or flat spatula. Pour the peppers into small freezer bags, approximately one-half to one cup (90 to 175 g) at a time. Squeeze all the air out of the freezer bag. Label the bag with the contents and date. Store the vegetables in your freezer for up to eight months.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Find a place where the item will be undisturbed and sheltered from any rain. An outside location in the direct sunlight is best. Allow the item to sit for a couple of days. The butter's oil will soften up and break up the stain. The salt from the butter, coupled with the sunlight, will help to lift the stain. Wash the fabric in the washing machine. Put a regular amount of laundry detergent in the washing machine and set it to use hot water. Do not include other items in the washing machine so that you don't risk any transfer of the ink to another item. If the fabric is not washable (vinyl, for example), wipe away the butter with a clean damp cloth. Apply a small amount of gentle laundry detergent to the cloth to help clean off the butter. The stain should be gone, but if there is still a trace, repeat the process of applying butter to the stain. Wash the fabric again and if the stain is gone, then proceed to dry the fabric as usual.

SUMMARY:
Set the fabric item in the sunlight. Check the fabric before drying.
