thenrie liked post by franknbeans On thread : Opinions on (Parelli) playing with other horses, please

I guess if it were me-I would say fine. However-the name "Parelli" can bring some pretty strong negative connotations to some people, and without knowing the owners feelings on "Parelli", it is hard...

I tend to push a little faster, maybe, to get previously unhandled horses to put up with being caught and halter trained. Something might happen where they would need to be caught and led for their...

Worked great for Robert Redford!! I usually rope them with a xx soft lariet and teach them to give with that. If you can't do that you might have to spend a couple of weeks getting close...

First off -- You probably need to geld this horse. When you are having this kind of problem, you would better served to practice on geldings. As far as teaching a horse to stand --- tie him up...

thenrie liked post by Missy May On thread : Gaining trust & over coming jealousy!

Horses don't walk away from people in a nice grassy pasture b/c they don't trust them, they just prefer to stay eating grass and being a horse and not chance you might want to catch them. It is how...

I have one that I bought back in Oct as well. Honey plays the "I'll come up and get a scritch but you can't catch me" game. She will come at the GALLOP if she sees a pail in my hand. Doesn't have...

What makes you think he was abused? Just because he won't let you catch him? That's not fear, it's disrespect. He knows if you don't catch him, he doesn't have to work. Stop being so worried...

I say cut your losses. This mare sounds dangerous for you! Riding should be fun and challenging, not dangerous and scary! Maybe sell her to you trainer and see if he can turn her around for a profit....

Good grief I just read over the rules there, they did everything they could to say, "No Horses" without saying no horses. Id find somewhere less restrictive to ride like the VA highlands trail .
