If there was bucking right away that tells me that there is possibly an equipment issue of pain in Scout. <br /> If it isn't this, and Scout has just learned she can act up to get out of work (which is exactly what Cassy learned with her previous owners and tried to pull it with me) she simply works through it with out making it a fight. When Scout sees the bucking doesn't work, this behavior will stop. They only do what works for them, using the least energy possible to do it. <br /> I think you are closer to being right about the situation and shouldn't beat yourself up for your feelings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-91554612356237450172011-06-18T22:57:33.032-05:002011-06-18T22:57:33.032-05:00Been there.

The fix seems tough to reach.<br /><br />You dropped a note about wanting some info on Round penning - there are some decent videos on You Tube (like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXGLMEpXAr0 by John Lyons), but I also have a DVD I can send you. Email me your snail mail at wprosapio at gmail dot com and I'll send it.<br /><br />The first thing you do in the round pen is try to establish listening by the horse. One eye and one ear on you for 90 % of the time (unless they are facing you, of course). I like round penning a hot horse because it does give a chance for them to do some energy work - important for horses that don't have big pastures to run in. Anyway, toss me an email and I can give you more info about what I've learned. Maybe it'll be helpful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104422629934443842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-85901919447604419632011-06-18T11:32:33.497-05:002011-06-18T11:32:33.497-05:00I am so with you....trying my darnedest to overcom...I am so with you....trying my darnedest to overcome-MYSELF!<br />KKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-3629754044581412722011-06-17T12:21:52.604-05:002011-06-17T12:21:52.604-05:00Well, what does Scout want?

I used to have a horse too that I couldn't ride. I loved him to bits, but I made terrible mistakes with him and it took me years to realise and admit that he was way too much horse for me and that he and I were just not right for each other. He taught me a lot though and I am a much better horse person now than I would have been without him.twohorseshttp://twohorses.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-61065559112497279892011-06-16T15:05:28.851-05:002011-06-16T15:05:28.851-05:00The important thing is that you see it now and tha...The important thing is that you see it now and that you can acknowledge it. So hard to do!!! I had to admit I didn't have the confidence or the seat to ride my previous horse -- it took me five years to admit to the obvious. Good for you. Some of these lessons horses teach us are very difficult. You did see it - and that is what is important.Oak Creek Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875705582058188289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-45151954086597849912011-06-16T14:37:57.156-05:002011-06-16T14:37:57.156-05:00As someone who is evidently being followed around ...As someone who is evidently being followed around by 4 elephants fully loaded with baggage all I can say is I know exactly how this could happen to you and Scout.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.com
