You may find yourself on a fast boat to China, or Europe, if you keep that rearing-turn-jump thing up! You have it pretty damn good, so don't blow it.<br />From a Friend<br /><br />P.S. Go talk to Cat. HP can handle pretty much anything you might think of dishing out. So get with the program. I know of several (ten? 15?)other horses would love to move into your spot as HP's "main ride."blueheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073089864842635639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260263928440442563.post-26518105105380349142009-07-07T08:29:25.376-07:002009-07-07T08:29:25.376-07:00Glad you're shaken, but okay.

It sounds like you got a handle on it and I'm glad you listened to your student and ended on that good note. <br /><br />He'll stop testing you, you'll get there. He's just still learning about patience and consistency.autumnblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14261052609848445921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260263928440442563.post-69412236562266771742009-07-07T05:38:52.692-07:002009-07-07T05:38:52.692-07:00Eeeesh.

I think you do have to let him know you don't need that crap, and you were right to quit while ahead.<br />He has enough bad memories.<br /><br />"push him back up".<br />I think maybe sometimes, it'd have to be just push him forward, screw the lightening up.<br /><br />"You suck back, I get a hold of you, turn your head and kick you forward now. It seemed to work. I got some soft work out of him."<br />Yup, you'll need to earn his respect, and you did that, right there.<br />Enough is enough, Top.<br />Stop testing HP!<br />Scritches withheld until further notice!<br /><br />I do think the halting whenever something isn't right could exacerbate his tension, depending on the circumstance. He wants to Go. Make sure he gets to Go, too.<br /><br />I don't disagree with Carrie, just maybe change it up a bit. He may start doing goofy crap, so he CaN halt.<br />He's gotta work for his dinner.<br /><br />I sure hope that made some sort of sense. Armchair riding is really easy.<br /><br />Kudos to you! Gawd, I'd have been a quivering bloody wreck.<br /><br />You're riding a horse with "fire in his feet". It's been bred into him, ya know:)<br />Time to leave the floor!<br /><br />Helluva job, HP.<br />wow.<br /><br />Make sure he knows I'm not scritching him until you are feeling happier about him.<br />So TherE!GoLightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283690734019490983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260263928440442563.post-52735479119114553972009-07-07T03:04:18.372-07:002009-07-07T03:04:18.372-07:00Sigh.

He is very content.<br />Why? Because he is eating my hay stored in the trailer. It is a stock trailer.<br />I ask myself why I am so dumb?<br />I move hinm where he cannot eat hay.<br />He is an angel. Because he was done being an a$$hole anyhow.<br />All of this started because he tried to take Micah's Reyna down.<br />Can we say, "mood swing?"<br /><br />I love Top.
