Dear Keith...
Thursday, August 2, 2007
Hello,
I was wondering if you could give me some information on a few problems that I am having. I have a 4 1/2 yr. TWH & Quarter horse, I sent him to training last summer, I got him back and he seemed to know the ground work but not riding, I have been riding him for a year as much as I can, he was coming along good. It seems the more I ride him the worse he gets. He is kind of defiant shakes his head, then one day he decided to start rearing, I have had him from the time he was 6 month and he has never bucked, but all of a sudden he want to buck too. No matter what I do I cant get him to go out of a walk, if you click and kick him hard and alot he will buck you off. I have check all my tack and it looks good, I am riding him with a hackamore because he puts his tongue over the snaffle and then he is just concentration on his tongue and not on me. Should I go back to the snaffle? Should I go back to the round pen work again? I don't think that my trainer rode him very much. If you can give me any suggestions please.
I am at a lose please help |

Suggested Article: "Give Your Horse A Want-To Attitude"
I treat the horse the same way. If I ask him to standstill, that's cleaning his room. I say "Clean your room." He says "No." I say "Fine." Now, what can I do that requires movement? It doesn't matter if I'm in the arena or the trail. In...

It's your job to be consistent simply because horses become mirror images of their owners. Let's say you buy a horse and the horse pulls on the bit like he's trying to rip your arms out of their sockets. Well, you can blame the previous owner for...

Suggested Article: "Ready for Your Next Spook?"
It's not a matter of "if" your horse spooks, it's "when." It's not a matter of how broke your horse is. Sooner or later it will see something that makes it spook. You can't control your environment so you can't blame your environment. If...
