I don't think you have really been serious about it yet. When you get really serious about quitting you will quit. No doubt about it, it isn't easy - But it sure is nice when you don't smoke anymore!

JP :> Yep .... perfect sense ....... I'm "groom" as in JP :>handling the horse out of the trailer ...... grooming the JP :>horse and helping with the harness/carriage etc. I don't JP :>ride with them. JP :> HOWEVER, I had another neat plan maybe -- since I'm JP :>bringing Tuffy along for company for X ..... then I thought JP :>maybe I'd also bring along his cart ...... then trail along JP :>at a comfortable distance behind Buddy .... that way when JP :>they got to where they were going I could handle X for him JP :>(then I would have to dress appropiantly (sp)). You could be the caboose! Wouldn't it be hard to handle X and Tuffy at the same time, though? JP :> I never thought of doing that but I'll bet it would be JP :>fun ...... I'll have to see where they are showing harness JP :>around here. Most of our open shows have driving classes. It's usually Morgans and Arabians in the classes, too. It's usually the Morgans who win (g). If you can get ahold of a Morgan Horse Assoc. or the Arabian breed handbook, I'll bet the specifications for tack, attire, etc. are in them. If X is registered and you're a member of any affiliate Arabian Horse Association, you should have gotten a handbook anyway! If not, try calling the Arabian horse breed registry. I know it's IAHA for 1/2 Arabs and Anglos...and I know they publish a handbook.

I thought we were JP :>doing so good together. I took her in the round pen to JP :>work her ..... I had her saddled up but only had her halter JP :>on with the lunge line and I started to lunge her. JP :> She made it 1/4 way 'round in the pen (at a walk no JP :>less) and all of a sudden she started to buck .... I want JP :>to tell you she would have made a good rodeo horse look bad JP :>the way she was bucking ...... Meg, I have no idea JP :>what set her off ..... and, she bucked 2 1/2 times around JP :>in the round pen ..... she pulled so hard against me that JP :>she pulled the lunge rope out of my hands. Hmmm...you only had her halter on? Would she have done this with a bridle? Fiddle will sometimes think it's playtime when she only is lunged with a halter. But she usually behaves when she's fully tacked up. Has she done this before? If not, then maybe it was a bad spook, or a bee or something? Whatever it was, it doesn't sound nice! Phew! JP :>minute. As it was, she did stand still and calm to my JP :>voice cooing to her. After she was totally calm, we JP :>started around the pen again on the lunge line and she was JP :>good as gold. I have noticed with some horses that once they "get going" like that, they scare themselves to death. It's almost like a chain reaction...they start running/bucking, get scared, run/buck some more/ get more scared/ run/buck more/ get paniced, etc. Sounds like that's what happened here. And, I don't have a clue as to what to do about it. Wish I did, Jean. Only thing I can suggest is short, easy trips around the pen on the lunge. If she looks like she's going to get nervous, stop, pat her, then send her out at a walk again. However, if she explodes on you like that with no obvious reason, then I don't know what you do. JP :> She's dangerous, Meg ...... I know it and I'm really JP :>very careful with her. I don't think I'm going to ride JP :>her. I'll work her on the lunge line and that's it. Somehow, I don't blame you. However, be aware that some horses figure out real quick when they've scared you, and then learn that scaring you means the end of whatever work they were expected to do. Don't let her get your goat! Shiloh has a tendency to do this...she'll spook (a little hop is all) on occasion, and then figures she'll be done for the day. We're working on coming to an understanding about that (g). I think her former owner was a real yahoo! And I think that once they got her revved up, they got scared and just put her away for the day. Now she thinks that if she does something to make her rider nervous, she'll be able to quit. Aha! No such luck, little Ms. Appy! Not at my barn (g)! The mind of a horse is a terrible thing.......
