Ah (&*^)* ,.... at this
point, /..... forgive me. .....but ... can I proclaim to be 'an
expert'??.
- probably not,?! !! and
would not anyway ------ ( I do have a Magna Cum Laude in Horse Science
Certificate - Career Studies - Horse Science. From a local accredited college.?
Have worked with others' horses - 'training issues' - --"loading in
trailers", etc. - successfully, less than hr, or so -
'lesson'. - non - traumatic, and lasting...... ? --
Honestly, have - ' A degree' - can work with
own horses - "problem" horses. Can provide references - people whoi know
history - - any horse--- I competed -was "problem" - when I acquired
them, - not that I was told til about year after the
fact?!, -- horse was 'hard to ride, handle". etc.
( - previous owners - would attest to
"problems"; ....I have acquired); --would I proclaim to be an expert - well,...
No.!!! Maybe.... I should offer
services ?? .... hard to ride/ handle horse,.... "problem
horses"?? -? ..- figure, just my 'dumb' -
luck.!!)
I can generally find a 'good'
horse' worth 'time' and 'money'... ie, -' cheap' - and "re- train"
.... ---- hope I found another "Lyric" - same bloodlines, a couple
'issues'. But, with time , few months,.. and patience,....... was on him this
weekend, at home in pasture,... he learned - seems to understand
rein / leg cues ... go forward, turns, ..... and go away from other
horses ---- a "big" plus, without 'a fight'. After about
5 - 10 minutes. After a couple slow months, - I' ve got the
time - he lets me 'handle' his mouth.... actually "picks up
bit" on his own. 'A BIG Step'! - he would not let anyone near his mouth
when I got him. Granted , has been a couple months, ,,but I
just let him be "a horse", get used to surroudings over the winter --
and gradually got him used to handling. ------ I'll offer services -
give me a month / or two - couple to 4 thousand or so $$;
I'll find you a "good" horse. ( of course, cost to me will be about 500
to 1.5 thousand; seriously.) I will put my "knowledge" against Ginny
--- who knows, maybe I can find a 'new vocation'. ?? Lots of horse sales around
area, and do have a couple contacts??? Since recently looking for
another horse - NE, StephanieM
