Re: [RC] help with trail shy gelding - Barbara McCrary
YESSSS!!!!
I now have a nice 9-year-old gelding that doesn't
spook. It's so weird to discover that the horse I'm riding doesn't spook.
I became to used to it and so defensive. I'm too old to crash and burn; it
hurts more than it used to.
I've had my 19YO horse for 10 years. He was a major spooker than and he
still is now. After years of riding like this, I can tell you, it is so nice
to ride my mare or other gelding who are not by nature spookers. The older I
get, the more important it is to be able to just get on a horse and ride down
the trail with no issues.

My observations: 1) Sometimes it is
not possible to take the spook out of an individual horse...they're
hard-wired that way. 2) A confident rider has better luck than a timid or
fearful one.
