[RC] re: Barnsour horse - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Teresa VanHove tvanhove@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== well one thing you might do is make the BARN less attractive. Feed him in the round pen or tied to trailer. Do lots of intense ground work right in the barn. --backing all over the place, sidepass away from your pressure. etc etc. Then take him out for a nice break to munch grass out of sight of the barn. NHwise I think its supposed to help a lot if you can stall them away from all other horses so that YOU are their company, not practical a lot of the time, but you should isolate him as much as you can right now so that getting worked is getting to have your company more than leaving the company of his horse buddies. --You might try a bareback buddy or similar system to mount w/o saddle slipping? Good luck, Teresa Is there a way to fix this without riding through the tantrum, or do I just need to find a trainer to do it for me, then get back to business?? In the meantime, we are going to start taking long working walks with me on the ground, get out of sight of the barn! all by ourselves! and eat grass. Then come back to the barn and work our tootsies off. (in the round pen at the moment....getting bored with circles).>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
