Brilliant, thanks Sarah! :)

I thought this video i made of my other horse at liberty last spring might be helpful.
I do a lot of desensitizing, yielding the HQs, and yielding the forquarters. It also shows me stepping in front of the drive line to get her to change direction. I'm a big follower of Clinton Anderson, because he is just a very good at teaching. His fundamentals series is really what gave me the knowledge i needed. Eliza At Liberty - YouTube

My older walker was named Beau,,, I name all my horses after DUkes of hazzard characters so he became general pt Beauregard, or just Bo, My new horse was Seiko,, that was to close to psycho, so I...

there are quite a few other good threads about arabs on here. Honestly, If a dead headed qh fits you perfectly, and you love being able to day dream as you mosey along on your push button mount, an...

< -- Charm says, "Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy..." Arabians definitely aren't for everybody. They are smart and sensitive and require and equally smart and sensitive person. I love mine ..

I love my Arab. He excels at things that involve thinking - he LOVES obstacles. I'm currently figuring out how to train him in Working Equitation. He's schooled some in Dresage (we don't show so...

Sorry, but if he loves you he will not dis your horses to other people. Sounds like he might not be such a good match for you, IMHO.

Its hard now but it wont be for long I promise! Though I can never replace my mare and man did I love her, I am sure happy with the horse I have now. I wish you the best of luck!

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having! :hug: I don't have much practical advice but I know that when my mare lost her bestie a few years ago (like we have "heart...

"A little long"? Wow! I don't blame you for losing respect for them, that's awful. Glad you have her now and can bring her back into proper condition.

Oh its gelding next time. I say that, but I doubt it will actually happen haha My last horse was a mare. She was awesome. Lots of personality, but nothing like the mood swings in my current gal. ...

LOL, earplugs for a horse? Ok, I certainly do learn of new things on this forum. I have steady eddy geldings, they don't hiss & don't do fits. I deserve them, I did my mare time, I paid my debt to...

Wish I could tell you it works. Sadly it doesn't. Bratty Mares lesbian lover is a steady eddy and prior to that she was with a school master who was bomb proof. It has never helped a bit *sigh* ...
