[RC] sticking 'em with a horseshoe nail? - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== This is for not for those of you who feel that a horse must NEVER experience anything painful or negative from the handler/rider: what about the old Missouri trick of sticking them with a horseshoe nail when you want to give them a "negative!"? I've heard of it being used to prick 'em in the withers in front of the saddle,and also positioned as an "accessory" at the front of each hooded stirrup for punishment of "unauthorized excursions to the side".I'd be perfectly willing to try it on a horse less quick and explosive than my buddy Chico;with him however... ===========================================================Just because someone tells you that your horse isn't "fit" for endurance...doesn't mean it isn't, it just means your horse isn't fit to be "their" endurance horse! Go for it, you never know what you'll accomplish with that "saddle horse" or "trail horse" of YOURS! ~ Darlene Anderson - DPD Endurance ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
