Maybe I should be more patient. Okie a two person load. His ass mine. I don't even have to pop him anymore though. I just show him the lounge whip or brush him with it and he goes in. I have tried and tried patience and reasoning and I always run out. I've been working on swinging the whip back with my left hand as I lead with the right but I mess up. I did a lot of reading on this trip and one chapter was about you can make a horse do something but it doesn't teach them but I figured he was the exception because he's so smart and has learned to "move it" or else. I start out caring if he wants to but after awhile....

They are tiny little firecrackers all roped together. You are supposed to unravel and light them one at a time. I light packages. Most cool:')

I've seen butt ropes get horses hurt more often than I've seen them help. Horses are too strong to really be forced to do anything they don't want to do.

Glad after that your rides were nice for the weekend!

My oldest son is very dark. He won't grow a beard though because it comes in red.

Well, the right 'want' can sometimes be encouraged... ;~D

With butt ropes on adult horses, though, I've just seen it go bad more than well. If a horse pulls back no rope is going to stop him, even if it means he goes down or breaks something. Foals, you can force to do things... labradors, you can force to do things... Adult horses, you really can't. Anyone who has ever seen one hit full panic knows that.

Totally not horsey related but you have put that "guy falkes' thing in my wee brain now and it wont go away!
There was a song that we would all sing on leaving school for the holiday that included bonfire night.
It went;
We break up
We break down
We don't care if the school falls down.
No more English
No more French
No more sitting on the old school bench.
If a teacher interferes,
We shall jolly well
Box her ears.
If that does not do the trick.....
Dynamite is just as quick! Little angels weren't we!

LOL!

Remember, remember
The Fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
There is no reason
Why Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

Yeah I know. Sounds like somebody (animal or human) could get hurt.

A red beard is ok. I do not like to grow one because it itches .
