In reading posts regarding teaching calmness when
"tangled". When my 11 yr gelding, Danny, was a few months old, he stepped
in abandoned hog wire hiding in tall grass. I had only been teaching him
halter, leading, feet and handling up to this point. The hog wire had been
left on my side of the fence (unbeknownst? to me) by my neighbor. New
neighbor called me when I got home from work to tell me Danny had been standing
in the same spot for hours! I went to him immediately and found he had not
done any harm and waited all that time! for me to come pick up his feet and
release him from this situation! I swear! I have
witnesses...:)) This is an abnoxiously intelligent horse. Drives me
bugg-o wanting to learn new stuff. I really think he is a dog with hooves
and whinneys. I wish he had the body to do real endurance. Just LDs
for this guy.
