Thank you.... You are the fourth person to send me a private message over the past couple of days basically saying the same thing... I do wonder about some folks with horses and not only in your country but here as well..

I have found a way with horses that works for us and works well...

There is no quick fix with training horses as you will probably already know..

Nice to see you are mostly on top of your horses behaviour issues and hopefully you enjoy your horse riding..(smilies)

Thank you again for your post..

Take care..Tony

People make up their minds without actually understanding or wanting to understand the point you're making sometimes you just have to walk away. I dont consider a horse that bucks, has an occasional rear or spook to be a problem horse. It does have the potential to be a problem horse in the wrong hands. These people have probably never had any experience of a real problem and hopefully never will. My sons mare threw a tantrum tonight as she wanted to do some jumping not flat work in the menage so she kept trying to bolt off - she isn't a bad horse she just has attitude. She is so strong that you can't hold her when she has a mood like this but you can talk her down really easily because we spent time on her groundwork.
You sound to be doing a great job in your own quiet way. If people were having so much success with these auction buys there wouldn't be so many going back.

We need to find the town Sheriff..... anyone seen him..? He is useless.... out chasing his tail somewhere no doubt.... If we dont watch it there will be a plague of carrot nickers...! lol

Thank you for your kind words.. I wish I could fix all the poor horses that cause grief to riders.. I love working with troubled horses and each one I sort of take on as a personal Challenge...

Having read quite a few posts on this subject, it seem to me that you folks ride with far too many others to enjoy your outing.. Personally I like to ride with a small group only and with riders...

Please ask your cowboyfriend to stand in front of you facing away from you.. grab a curb bit, attach some reins to it and then ask your boyfriend to open his mouth and please after inserting the bit...

Something has happened to your horse physically at this new place... Your horse is trying to tell you he is not comfortable with you riding him.. in saying that, I mean he could be hurting...

Good morning from New Zealand.. Around our riding area we have a major forest and in that we also have a lot of log trucks travelling back and forth some 20 hours a day, so we have a choice......

Can someone explain the need or the use of Lunging a horse..? I see and hear all sorts of folks lunging a horse before getting on it..! Is this what folks term ground work..? Are they...
