short version: so tonight i found myself helping this kid at my barn learn the basics of riding stop go etc.. horse took of on him, his fault, and he was completely helpless.. i was like 'this kid really needs help' decided to put the horse on the lounge.. horse didn't trust me enough to lounge, i didn't know so i offered to go get a whip to keep him going forward, they said he was scared of whips.. no biggie. come to find out the horse is completely head shy FREAKED of whips (plus any thing else that resembles a whip, rope, hose, etc.) and doesn't trust anyone. i worked with him for about two hours getting him to trust me with a whip, and he did really good. that poor horse.
wanna know where they got him from 'boy scout camp' i'm like omigosh!!!
i don't know if he was abused there but still.
before i got to working on this i found out he knew flying changes and a lot more. I'm assuming boy scout camp didn't teach him that.. boy scouts also sent him to them in a bit thats completely too harsh, it looks like a correction bit with a weird spade thing coming off the port. gahhh
this just completely upsets me, does anyone have any thoughts on this??
i didn't know where else to put this, so i put it here.. sorry if it's in the wrong section of the forum :\
