| I've always been impressed by the horsemanship of Pat Parelli; however some of the work he does is with
a cue stick in each hand. Okay for a big man but my shoulders would not be able to hold up to the weight of those
sticks. Anyone with joint problems will appreciate my dilemma.
While attending a few clinics I noticed that most women have a hard time twirling the end of the rope and sending the horse at the same time. Most of the training or cue sticks on the market are heavy. The women I spoke with said they are hard to handle (heavy) and at the end of the session, their arms were tired. Tripping over the cue stick was another problem. If you don't need to use the cue stick for a while you have find a place out of the way to put it. I didn't want to stop in the middle of a schooling session and find a place on the rail to lean my stick so I would drop where I was standing. However, the StoStic is easy to handle. Carry it in your back pocket and with a simple flick of the wrist you have a 4 foot long light-weight durable training tool. The StoStic collapses back to 8.5 inches. No need to stop your schooling session to find a good spot on the rail to lean it, or take the risk of tripping over it. The StoStic fits back into your pocket or clips on to your belt loop. This works great out on the trail too. It fits nicely into the pony pack or saddlebag. The graphite composite gives the StoStic both light weight and the durability it needs to hold up under stress. Like other cue sticks, the StoStic in not meant for abusive behavior and will in fact break if used too harshly. Hopefully no one will be whacking a horse hard enough to break it. That's not the intent. The StoStic's purpose is for desensitizing and sending. Please use the StoStic with the respect your horse deserves. In the event you do break your StoStic, the end unscrews for section replacement.
"I have always found the orange and white fiberglass sticks to be heavy and cumbersome to use, therefore I have never used a specific cue stick of any type. I find the sticks to be hard on the horses as well as the handler. When Shari Maguire introduced me to the StoStic I found a piece of equipment that not only improved my training but is easy on the horse. I find I won't leave home without it" Ken McNabb, RFD TV Equine Clinician |
