Tivar used to be pissy a lot and I just grew to accept he was an old grump. Then gee to my surprise he got less pissy as time went by and I learned to listen and he learned to express things the way I needed to hear them. (stressing here its different for every person and THEIR horse) I dont know how it began to change but he just got mellower and mellower, I think he was beginning to understand I wasnt a mean person and that he was rude for no reason. I am very very clumsy and gimpy, I have had knee surgery as a result of a bad car accident when I was 30 and now arthritis from it. I cant get on and off a horse without wallowing around up there forever, especially dismounting. At first that drove him NUTS. He would give me a normal amount of time to swing down and when i didnt get very aggravated and start wringing his tail and walking off. But now he stands quietly, i think he just began to realize hey, why she does that I dont know, but what the heck if it floats her boat... instead of "I wish this crazy ol bat would learn how to get off a horse the right WAY" Janice .yipie tie yie yo
