Re: [RC] Shy Bladder - Barbara McCraryI am so thrilled with my new gelding. I've discovered that he will pee on the trail, sometimes even twice during a moderate distance. He'll be going along and gives me just the slightest hint that he is preparing to stretch out. Then he stops, stretches forward with the front legs and lets go. Collects himself and off we go. I don't have to train him. I do wonder if it's natural with him or whether someone else trained him, but I suspect the former.

For 2 years, every time we went out, he would literally cross his legs until we got home - not matter how long we had been out. Then at home, he would run to his "spot" stretch out and pee with this look of utter bliss on his face. In 2 years he only peed twice away from home, once in the trailer and once on trail. Finally, I went to our first CTR ride and my husband loaded him at 4:00pm Friday to leave. He held it - waiting to go home, until 1:30 the next day. When he finally peed it was like a river and kind of dark from being held for so long. However, now he will pee anywhere, anytime, and as often as he has the slightest urge. That was a TOTAL cure.
