[RC] tripping horse - Stacy BaxterMy husband has a Tenn. Walker that trips. Last ride the horse tripped so bad (while walking), when I looked back, both horse and husband were flat out on the ground. This is the first time the horse has gone all the way down, but he skins his knees a good 2-3 times a year. When my horse trips, I tend to give him his head, so he is not slamming his mouth into the bit, my trainer suggests I keep pressure on the reins, that it will 'catch' him and also make him realize that tripping really does hurt and maybe he will be more careful. Ideas???? Just curious, would you all rather have a horse that trips, or one that does 180s? (This is the debate in our household. Maybe we need different horses?...Life insurance?....Saddle seat belts?.....Velcro?....) -Stacy __________________________________________________
