Wonder what he was seeing or hearing to get him so excited. You'll probably never know, seems their brains process differently. <br />I'm like you whenever I get mad and think I might be on the verge of losing it (mostly with Dusty of course) I just stop and either walk away or put her away for a calming down period. Otherwise things will continue to disintegrate and nobody wins.

Sounds a little like someone I know. I often think about getting off when Harley's prancing and acting up on pavement--but sometimes it's just worse. I worry more about his unpredictable behaviour and vehicles, but usually stay on and keep him moving. Kudos to your rides.lmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517919157975053481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-70320083862679309532013-03-25T13:35:15.119-04:002013-03-25T13:35:15.119-04:00I was just looking at some horse prints with the s...I was just looking at some horse prints with the slogan "Keep Calm and Ride On". You were a great example of that. I think I need one of your posters of Misty with those words on it.

I thought when ...Oh that heart shape is incredible! I thought when first seeing it that you did that with your brush!!<br />Sovey and Laz do the SAME exact reaction. They STOP, freeze, get big/tall and heart bounds within. If I try to circle Laz or distract, it's pointless and causes him MORE worry. If I just allow him to look, pet his neck and I talk to him, it may take a minute or sometimes 10, he'll lick and chew and exhale. It's really interesting! I am dumb though and will try to circle him away, and it causes a fight and he starts to tune me out and become the leader. They are independent smart horses that would survive well because of it but yes, it can sometimes feel like a lack of connection/communication when they make their own decision. Years of instinct prevails sometimes...

That mad you are describing is how I get when Sovey does something on the ground (like when he intentionally steps on my foot or takes a potshot bite at me). I have been known to put him in his stall or back out in the pasture until I cool off. It is like a time out for both of us. It works every time!juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-21782134715265791392013-03-22T21:17:26.184-04:002013-03-22T21:17:26.184-04:00How do you manage to keep your mad feelings under ...How do you manage to keep your mad feelings under control?
