Dear Keith...

Dear Keith
I have a problem horse if you need a demo. He has been a "project" of mine for 2 years. We've done fantastic up until the last 3-4weeks. Now he has started rearing and spinning when he decides he's done. From what I hear he has been "naughty" in the past and then someone stops working with him. He has flipped with a "dressage" trainer.
With me we have progressed quite well over the past 2 years but recently he has been doing the above. He has not flipped but I have also just tried to keep things calm and forward.
Thank you truly for your time,
Kim B |

So I ride back to the other spot, and I just keep changing directions. I keep asking and he keeps saying "Alright, alright, we'll have our wreck over here." I just keep moving him around and pretty soon, he decides it's too much trouble to blow up....
