Now if we could just interpret their response to know what kind of weather is heading our way, we'd been in great shape.

Does more saddle work? <br /><br />Kate - I agree the weather does play a big part.<br /><br />Kristen - The tunnel vision is the worst when they get like that, and it does feel like they can blow at any second.

That is what I need to work mostly on. That tunnel vision they get can feel quite scary and difficult to get them back, but sounds like the touching you did worked for him at times. :)Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-5914581281526458202010-03-23T06:57:53.499-04:002010-03-23T06:57:53.499-04:00I think weather does affect them, and that they do...I think weather does affect them, and that they do often worry about and see things we don't - good riding on your part!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-92017534048732931382010-03-23T00:31:20.445-04:002010-03-23T00:31:20.445-04:00Well, Pie dear...you and Wa mare talked about this...Well, Pie dear...you and Wa mare talked about this I think...<br />Last year Wa had a sudden attack of fears and rears, once during a rain, and I decided to ride. We actually did quit that day as I was soaking. There was never anything there again...at the spot she freaked! Sometimes attitude is all it is...but as I learned from the Elk adventure...sometimes not!<br />Glad that he loved on you after the airs above the ground, without asking!<br />Yea...we too have the intermittent rains..but it is warmer...tried on a Western-y saddle today...for the attacks of ill will Wa has been getting...she has me buffaloed some...but if I can have more saddle...?<br />KKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.com
