    [RC] Horses that kick - Maggie & David


    My little Foxy, who is otherwise a very well-behaved lady, has been known to have witchy moments and has kicked. She knows this is unacceptable behavior, but sometimes we aren't paying as much attention as we should and she will start to swing her butt. She hasn't actually kicked at a ride in years, but we are always cautious and she gets a red ribbon. She always gives warning signs when she isn't happy, so I can usually warn off whoever has offended her.
     
    And since we are almost always riding in as a small cavalry unit :-) we just make sure a 'buddy' is behind her as she is happier that way. Of course, if the buddy is Lilly, we have a whole 'nother set of problems. Lilly will bite the butt of the horse in front of her if they aren't going fast enough for her taste!
     
    Maggie--always fretting about sumthin'
    Foxy--witchy? me?
    Lilly--can you guys speed up?!
