[RC] re: horse with attitude - Katie HoggSabrina said : Anyone else have a horse like
this or am I the only lucky one? I have a horse that I have owned for the last
9 of his 12 years. I have come off this guy 7 times. It seems that he must
dump me about every year or so... what? to keep me on my toes? The most recent
episode was about 2 weeks ago. I hadnt ridden him in 2 months because I have
been paying attention to my new horse. Just got on him for a casual bonding
ride, no real workout planned. Everything started out just as calm as can be. I
rode him for about 20 minutes at a friends arena, then all of a sudden he just
flew into his "bronc of the year" status! Well, I came off immediately, (no 8
seconds in this gal), got up, walked over to him, got back on and continued our
leisurely ride. What the??? My reaction to this was that he was ticked off
at me for putting him on the back burner for those last 2 months. I swear this
horse is smart and has attitude! He is my main LD horse, and I love him dearly,
but lately I feel like the abused woman... Oh, I'm so sweet, (sucker you in),
You can trust me, (batting of the eyelashes), then WHAM, rider
eats dirt! You get up, brush yourself off, and the dang beast nuzzles you
and sneaks a few licks on your arm. SUCKER!
I would love to hear some input on
this topic, and make it funny, its getting depressing around here with all the
'slaughter' talk.
Ride safe, and wear your helmet!
Hence the email dirtangel... :o)
Sabrina Well Sabrina I
think I've met and ridden the long lost foreign relative of your horse. This
particular horse would go for months being an absolute angel then suddenly
WHAM! Right into a massive bucking fit. Huge twisting bucks that I have yet to
see (or experience) another horse do. There was no chance of staying on him as
he gave no prior warning and did it randomly. It was like his little act of
definance 'you can make me wear a bridle, a saddle and even dress me up with
ponsy plaits but I'll always have one up on you muahahahahhaaha'. I know he used
to go back to his paddock and brag to all his friends about it.
