[quote user="48northfarm"] [quote user="spragueme"] Could be that he is so well trained, that if you are not using your legs and seat to steer and just pulling on a rein, he is gonna go where your legs are telling him to and just trying to flex his head around, trying to figure out what you are truely asking of him.

Poor Jack. I sure hope you have them seperated now so Jack doesn't have to be in hiding and fear and ending up in a far worse entrapment. Sounds like Mr Al needs alot of round penning to get rid of his high and mighty attitude. LOL. After Scout went on defense mode and tore a hole in Glis the first time I had them together, when I brought her back from the boarding barn I had her at for a few months, I made sure I had Scout on a long line when I put them back together because I knew he could

Took a great ride in the woods. No snow this year in western NY. The creek was not deep but it was flowing fast and was making a nice bubbling sound.

Dang TX - I missed this when you posted it. How'd she do? You need to come back more often. There is a gang of us that hang in chat daily.

FH - congrats on how well Al is coming along!!! Looks like you're gonna have yourself a nice riding partner. HAHA I love how he tells you how smart he is. Duh like we all didn't know that. LOL. I see when Clint is asking things a bit too fast for him, he gets confused and resistant but he's coming along. Can't wait to hear about the ride with a campanion. Oh Amm - so very sorry for your loss. You did her well. Keep all those good day memories close to your heart.

Hello all. Its been very quiet around here lately so I thought I'd share a couple of pics that I found interesting. Seems Glis's star on her face is changing. I started noticing it a while ago. I've never seen a face marking change on a horse before. I mean I've seen some that have gotten a few more hairs here and there but not as much as I've seen the change in Glis's. Or at least I haven't noticed it before. Even the snip on her nose is getting a bit wider and whiter

You're experiencing 2 very common things. Alot of horses stock up for one reason or another. 99.9% of the time the stocking up will go down with turn out or exercise. As you can already see that if you take him out on long rides, no stocking up, short rides (=less exercise) he'll stock up. Maybe if you lunge him for a while before taking him out on short rides he'll be less likely to stock up on ya. As for the windpuffs. Those will not go away. They normally happen after a horse has experienced
