Boy, isn't THAT a nice roundpen! That horse sure looks pissed though. Looks like the guy lassoed him around the head and the rope is running over his outside ear. I'd be pissed too!

Did you see the link? It's a clinic for people that know how to ride but something happened and lost their confidence.

Huh. Maybe the training is provoking a reaction?

I've done that Cindy, she can always make an excuse...I'm not her babysitter, not anymore anyway.

I know you think I'm mean...but at some point people HAVE to take responsibility for themselves. She's at that point.

There is no shame in saying "You know what, this turned out to be something I don't really enjoy".

Well, I rode Harley for his 30 minutes, we went out on trail today.

He was fine...no sign of soreness.

I think I'll keep him at 30 minutes for this week, then add 10 minutes each week till I get him up to an hour...what do you think???

I think that's certainly a conservative approach, no harm in that.

I should have added, that plan is contingent on that I can be consistent in riding him. If the weather shuts me down, the schedule my have to change.

It's nice here... I'm gonna go out and curry some hair off of mine, and lunge him a bit. He's been moving really good, but I still want to ground work him a week or two before putting weight on him, and April is right around the corner....

If you do what's called "ferrying" - tilting your boat against the current and backpaddling - you can actually hold your boat still or move it sideways across the current.

Or you can just tip over and wade to shore . . . < g >

Interesting. I'll bet that's pricey.

Yeah, April is coming fast, and I'm down to now that is when my first ride is going to be, and that ride is the toughest in the region IMO. Ark. If I miss too much I won't go to it either:(.

I proud to say, my horse is carrying 22 lbs less then he was last Sept:), by April I hope 10 more lighter.

I don't know that I'd have the patience to build him up that slow, but you definately won't hurt him doing it like you said.
