I can't sleep tonight and ran across this thread. What ever happened to that poor little darling?

Can you please view the thread in which your friend inaclick tryed to help me ?... there is an important question I would like an answer to in my last reply. From either you or her. I realy reaaaaly need to know.

Well---here is a new definition-at least to me. I agree very much with Cherie-but, yesterday, since I was sick, was laying around, and had RFD TV on. Craig Cameron came on, and said that HIS...

I figured this out pretty quickly. I was still in my teens when I started breaking a lot of horses for other people. It did not take very long to find out that untouched or barely handled horses...

Great discussion. I see what Cherie and Fargo is saying in the last couple of posts. I personally believe that some sensitivity is natural- some horses are naturally more sensitive than others but a...

I disagree with that. If horse were wild animals and people were capturing them and riding them, assuming humans are not natural and part of the environment anyway, then this may be the case. It...

You're not offending me in any way. It is a reasonable question. Let me explain it further. Horses do not NATURALLY like to be touched. A touch from another horse makes most of them move. In...

But, if you actually stood touching your horse, it would either lay its ears back or shake it head to 'push' you away (dominant horse) or it wold step away from your touch. Most of them will not...

Tiny -- While you would rather have an 'affectionate' horse, the fact that your horse doen not like physical contact is WHY it is trainable. Would you rather have him move away from pressure like a...

Won't get any debate from me, I agree with you :D.

Let me tell you what 'natural horsemanship' means to me. I just really think of it as common sense horsemanship teaching horses the way they are meant to learn. We can condition them to a lot of...

Yep, we will have to agree to disagree. IMO, there is a huge difference in keeping a domesticated animal vs a wild animal. A zebra is definitely a wild animal. I have a background in animal control,...

Here I am. Here I am -- for what its worth. I've seen horses like this before. More ground work is not going to do any good because he has already figured out the difference between having a...

Well, I'm not sure you will like it. Mucking gets boring after you do enough of it, and the pay is always low. If you want to live on site, and do 40+ weeks for minimal pay, than yes go for it. ...

I always turn Reeco to face me when I turn him out. That way he has to spin before he can buck anywhere near my head. It gives me time to get out of the way. He is generaly lovely to hack out and...

Lol mine likes to use untoward feet as launching pads. Almost broke one of the BOs feet once. Now what we do is put him in the field and then take the headcollar off on the other side of the...

Reeco is excellent to clip he seems to enjoy it and you can do him totaly loose in his stable (including clipping his ears out). Plaiting on the other hand is more difficult. I normaly get him in...
