The stories can be amazing.</P> <P>Jerry, the stallion I ride, his secret name is 'Tyrone'. He was dubbed that when he was sent for 30 days to rode in the woods and on cattle after I got him green broke. My friend had a lanky young man riding him and called me after about 3 days. He was so uncordinated (as a 3 year old) that everytime he went to canter with a rider, he would fall down (too busy looking at everything). He skint his head up a bit, but other than that was fine. </P> <P>Then he was tied to the cow pens while they were working the cattle. Jerry decided to untie himself and 'agravate' his neigbor (an older HUGE gelding that was minding his own business). They (the guys) were keeping an eye on him (he couldn't go anywhere). He grabbed the geldings saddle blanket, the gelding gave him the 'quit' look. He kept it up till the gelding had untied himself and decided to 'school' Jerry in manners. He grabbed Jerry by the napp of the neck and shook him till help arrived (for Jerry) to tie them back up. Jerry then decided he could stand tied and mind his manners. They called him Tyrone after that.</P> <P>Now years later, while I was pregnant and unable to ride, I go out to discover that Jerry has managed to break off a front tooth on the top. No idea how he managed it. He wasn't turned out with anyone to get kicked or anything. So now I guess he has the 'look' to go along with his secret name, Tyron the boxer.<BR></P><BR><BR><BR> <DIV><EM><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" color=#0033cc><STRONG><FONT size=2>Amber & David Fort </FONT><BR></STRONG><FONT size=4><A href="http://www.knighthawkranch.com/";><STRONG>Knight Hawk Ranch <BR></STRONG></A></FONT><FONT size=1>"<STRONG>Performance with out parameters</STRONG>" <BR><FONT color=#000099>Home to the Black Arabian stallions: <BR>Kaysa Jerry (72% CMK) <BR>Black Streak (Pure Polish)</FONT></FONT></FONT></EM></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #a0c6e5 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif"> <HR color=#a0c6e5 SIZE=1> From: <I>Geana Jones <rideforever1001@xxxxxxxxx></I><BR>To: <I>ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx</I><BR>Subject: <I>[RC] names for horses</I><BR>Date: <I>Tue, 28 Feb 2006 06:38:24 -0800 (PST)</I><BR>MIME-Version: <I>1.0</I><BR>Received: <I>from www.endurance.net ([207.141.24.164]) by bay0-mc11-f18.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.211); Tue, 28 Feb 2006 06:44:31 -0800</I><BR>Received: <I>from web50811.mail.yahoo.com [206.190.39.106] by seahorse.fsr.com (SMTPD32-8.00) id AFE31E60005E; Tue, 28 Feb 2006 06:36:19 -0800</I><BR>Received: <I>(qmail 77916 invoked by uid 60001); 28 Feb 2006 14:38:24 -0000</I><BR>Received: <I>from [204.177.185.146] by web50811.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Tue, 28 Feb 2006 06:38:24 PST</I><BR><BR> <DIV>I believe in so much in letting the horse tell or in most cases inform you what his name should be.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div></html> Subscribe/Unsubscribe http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/logon.asp Ride Long and Ride Safe!! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ From: WRSINOSKY@xxxxxxx Subject: [RC] Cantering on a loose rein Ah, Bruce, I think I've ridden your horse, or at least one of his buddies, at WalMart. They are truly wondrous steeds. No time spent training, none of that stuff, but I understand they are a bit difficult to load in a trailer. Something about their backlegs sticking out and the coinslot getting stuck in the door. An yeah, I've owned horses that you could throw a lead over their necks and they jumped right on. I've had horses I could ride with a halter and lead, just by leg pressure. But they have not been all my horses, by any stretch of the imagination. Some are just a little bit harder to work with than others. At least for me. Doimas knows how to do just about anything. Trouble is, he has a very stubborn streak that will sometimes come to the forefront and he just decides, "No." on a particular day. No reason, except he feels like it or doesn't, whichever is the case. Sebastian has been to Parelli classes. I was told after the third class that I really had my work cut out for me with this guy because of past abuse. The easiest horse I've had the pleasure of training is my BLM mustang mare. Could it possibly be that I didn't have to deal with old behaviors firmly ingrained by a previous owner? Yes, I'm a firm believer that you can get your horse to do almost anything, given time and the proper training. Doimas goes in and out of a trailer like it's second nature....most of the time. It's the other times I find annoying. Get off the pony and let me take the reins for awhile, Bruce. I just love that old WalMart guy!

Your approach is fine, or you might add that if the dogs cause a
horse-related accident, the owners may find themselves in legal trouble. Or
you could just be very sweet and recommend people confine or leave their
dogs at home, just for this one time. "It's very important to you that all
things go as well as possible and many riders do not want dogs around or
their horses could be very upset by having the dogs around." Hopefully, the
dog owners will cooperate.......

Subject: [RC] Worrying in advance... how do I deal with this??
This summer I will be managing a new ride that will be hosted at the barn where I board Zephyr. The barn owners have something like 8 dogs, mostly Australian Shepherds, and they're allowed to run free whenever the owners are outside. They're pretty well-behaved but a few of them like to jump up on people, or try to get people to play with their toys. The field where riders will camp isn't right next to the barn areas but the vetting and such will be done in the outdoor arena right next to the barn. Tact isn't one of my strongest points so I need your help. How do I tactfully ask them to find some way to confine the dogs for two days?? I was thinking I might approach it from the point of view that there will be a lot of excited horses and I want to avoid the dogs getting hurt. Any other suggestions? It's going to be tough to keep these dogs in the house, they're so used to being outside running around for 12 hours a day!

If someone has a handy DMV rule book and can look it up, let me know. I'm willing to stand corrected, if it is so. Of course, that was a LONG time ago and I don't ride on highways anymore. I don't even ride on our county road anymore. We have enough trails so we can get off the road, but we do have to cross it in some places. On weekends the "rice rocket" riders come down from the San Francisco Bay area and use our twisting, turning, occasionally steep county road as their private race course. We can hear them coming from miles away. We just don't ride there any more. I find this very inconsiderate, as our county road through the valley is also a residential road. They go through very fast, and there could be any one of the following on the road: children, on foot or horseback; cattle; hikers, runners or walkers; or a downed tree.
