Yeah, it's tough to have J&H horses.  The biggest thing is that I have to 
check in with my own J&H stuff to see where MY buttons are being pushed.  I 
had to learn to be extremely centered and non-reactive emotionally when he's 
going through all his histrionics - just be calm and try and get his 
attention back on me.  Not an easy task.

Especially since my J&H horse is my biggest horse, and the most powerful.  I 
could "muscle" my mare a little bit and get results, but if I "muscle" this 
guy it feels like I'm sitting on a powderkeg waiting to blow up.  Actually 
we could just be riding on the trail in a controlled trail ride and he would 
sometimes  feel like a powderkeg waiting to blow up.

It's getting better though because of the Parelli work.  I have to resort to 
singing stupid songs in my head to keep me from freaking out.... but I do 
stay on my horse and work through it.
