    that type!!

    <DIV>&nbsp; Need some possibles.&nbsp; One of my boarders,
    a 4 year old Appaloosa gelding - thoroughbred type and very
    long and lanky - is having some problems and now 2 trainers
    have said he is un trainable.&nbsp; Casper was sent off for
    saddle training last summer.&nbsp; He was doing good for 2
    months until the woman trainer went away to Worlds.&nbsp;
    She came back and he had become a bucking horse.&nbsp; She,
    with the owner's ok, sent him off to a "cowboy" who was
    good at working with bucking horses.&nbsp; He had Casper
    for 3 weeks and then sent him home saying the horse was
    mentally retarded.&nbsp; (I felt that Casper was a pretty
    sensitive horse and just didn't take well to the "force
    them into submission style of training.&nbsp; I also feel
    that the original woman trainer's husband worked with
    Casper while she was away and did something to make Casper
    fearful).&nbsp; Ok, so Casper was brought home and didn't
    go away for training again until 2 months ago.&nbsp; This
    was a different type of trainer, more of a natural
    horsemansh
    ip type.&nbsp; He was doing good with Casper for a month
    and said Casper was bucking out of fear.&nbsp; Also took
    him to a chiropractor and had him realigned.&nbsp; Well, 2
    weeks ago, Casper started bucking again and this time the
    trainer could not find any reason why.&nbsp; Had him
    checked out physically and found nothing.&nbsp; Casper
    didn't seem to be spooking at anything either.&nbsp;
    Apparently his bucking is a very dangerous type and this
    trainer has now said that Casper cannot be trained.&nbsp;
    So, I guess what we're looking for is any suggestions as to
    what we can try with Casper, or what to look for as to
    reasons for this bucking and if it's at all possible that
    he can be trained or if we should write him off as a
    pasture potato.<BR></DIV>
