Well.. you don't understand this horse Meg.. sometimes it take a thump to get a point across. I've spent months with him and he'snot willing to do it the "resistance free" method. I've tried every doggon trick I know including the round pen.. The problem here is the owner, she spoils him, she undoes a lot of my conditioning. > BK :>Got back on him within 1/2 hour of it happening. He was a > BK :>gem. > You did!?

BK :> BK :>I lunged her last night and she kicked into a lope and just BK :>loped for about 15 minutes till she relaxed.. BK :> BK :>Darn near did the same tonight! However.. after riding her, BK :>she's not completely sane yet after the last heat... ;) Hmmm....are you contemplating showing her this year? And, how about Tush? A friend of mine has a yearling Palomino filly she's sending off for training with an eye toward those lunge classes.

DT :>It sounds like you had a great time. You got a whole week DT :>in a row. Isn't it amazing! We get just that each year, if we're lucky. We run our own business, so getting away is REALLY hard. Add in the horses, dogs, cats, goats and getting everything organized is something else! Lost my old housesitter (she decided to have another kid!), but found a new one who's just as good. DT :>Because of the DT :>grandkid last year we got our longest vacation in 11 years, DT :>4 days in a DT :>row. Yuk! You should be kinder to yourself! DT :>weather man miss this time. It was 74 and calm. David DT :>spent over an 1 DT :>1/2 using a shedding blade on Smokey. He is beginning to DT :>look pretty DT :>good. I don't get it...my horses are short of shedding, but haven't really started that god awful stuff yet. I wonder if they knew the blizzard was coming...and I wonder if they know something else (g)! It was 75 yesterday, but supposed to be in the 40's during the day for the next few days and down in the high 20's, low 30's at night. Actually, I'm not complaining...there were bombadier squads of mosquitos in the paddock yesterday....geesh!!! Hopefully the cooler weather will get rid of them.

I didn't do anything else but just sit JP :>there -- then I got off .... she still stood perfectly JP :>still while I took off her bridle and put her halter back JP :>on. Poor Patti! Sounds as if she's scared to death! What happened to her? JP :>Nice thing about PATTI ..... she'll stand perfectly still JP :>while you take off her halter, drop it to the ground and JP :>there she stands "naked" until you slip her bridle on - she JP :>never moves a muscle ...... same way from bridle to halter. JP :>Guess I must have done something right with her . Don't you just love a horse that will do that! Fiddle will do it as long as you don't leave her...if you do, she'll try to follow (g). JP :>PATTI certainly has come a long way .... it's taken a long JP :>time but I honestly think she trusts me now -- we are JP :>definately bonding and becoming comfortable with each JP :>other. Makes me really feel good ... It should! Another one of "Jean's Miracles"!
