Thanks LP, btw, your earlier post of bucking was
top notch. The big dapple grey walker and I are just starting to connect. I
think it will be worth it and I love challenges. The guy who is training me to
be a trainer REALLY put a bug in my rug by telling me the horse would never have
the heart to race endurance.
I think he will. And I am willing to take
the time and energy to invest in big Rebel to give him a
chance.
Thanks again.
I had a great day today. Got to work horses in the
round pen and on ground manners, or as you said in the eariler post "show
stuff".
First you've got to get countrol over their head and feet. Those of us
that were 'born riders' - tend to do this without thinking. Those of us that
aren't - take forever to learn it - and it doesn't come naturally. Fear does
**grin**
You've probably found a horse just like my SSH - who's had
really BAD experiences with humans in the past. And are too smart to have
their wills broken - they just got pissed/untrusting.... I'm finally getting
the licking, and more trust with my SSH - only took 7 months and 100's of
miles and hours on her back **grin**, in the spring I'm hoping to put my
experienced hubby on her - but we're doubtful she's ever ride well for more
than ONE PERSON (me...)...... I've accepted this..but we'll still
TRY..
If your TWH ends up accepting you - it may take some time.. but
the reward is worth it!! Good luck! - LP
