Re: [IceHorses] Bits for sale
Ok. I will let you know what happens. If I live through it. Happy Southwestern Trails Go somewhere safe like an enclosure or fenced area and practice achieving softness and remind your horse what leg cues actually mean. To help you achieve subtle rein cues, hold the bit in your hands and have someone stand behind you (so you can't see them)give you rein cues. It's amazing what you can feel. The tiniest tweek of the rein is quite obvious. Just imagine what a horse can feel when he has your whole body to talk to... Good luck... Wanda

RE: [IceHorses] Charm and the Saddle
From: Judy Ryder [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charm got scared by it. Training opportunity! Talking about saddling--my Orri has been saddled and ridden, so 'knows' all about saddling, he's sniffed my saddle and pad and isn't afraid of them. Since I'm doing Level 1 PNH I'm following their saddling exercise and Orri didn't like me using rhythm to put the saddle pad and saddle on his back--I would swing them on and off 3 or 4 times, and he would move away and back off until he finally stood still (he was on a loosely held 12' line). Saddling him 'normally' I would just tie him, not in crossties, and he'd stand calm while I'd saddle him up. I'm wondering if his acting up with the rhythm saddling is because I'm doing something different and unexpected rather than he's not happy about saddling. Am I right in thinking that this is all about him accepting anything I do however out of the ordinary it seems? V _ Check Out Our List Of Trendy Restaurants.

Re: [IceHorses] Fwd: Fw: FW: Pheww!!]
I think that this picture was altered... Look at the shadows. Also if the dog were that size proportionatly to the horse it would have to wiegh at least 600 pounds, not 282. Just compare the body mass and its head t the horse. The horse looks to be an average sized Arab and I would guesstimate it at about 1000 pounds. JMHO... Pat G., in MN
Re: [IceHorses] Pushing Passenger
about 3/4 of the arena--and then I had him halt.

Re: [IceHorses] Pushing Passenger
what helps me with the sensation slipping (I have tried many many treeless saddles and they all slip with me, but the sensation slips the least) is the way Laree taught me at the Liz clinic. What you do is face the horse, put your toe in the stirrup and then sorta wallow over the horse's neck so that you very quickly have some weight on both sides of the horse. Laree said to grab the saddle flap on the other side and sorta hold it but I grab the girth strap :) also, and this is weird and I cant explain it, but after a few times of it slipping a LITTLE to one side and I was lazy and exasperated, I turned him around and mounted from the right and it doesnt slip from the right! I have mounted him the last five or six times from the right, i think he thinks its normal now! Janice-- yipie tie yie yo

Re: [IceHorses] Bits for sale
i know this works... because Tivar is so awesome. He rides in a sidepull, then today I just grabbed a bridle with a myullen pelham bit and the only time I had to use just the slightest rein was when I was turning him fron to back or getting him to flex because I dont know the leg cues for that and when I did all I did was crook my finger. So I think I could ride him in anything! Janice -- yipie tie yie yo

Re: [IceHorses] Pushing Passenger
i think i ought to get off the computer. It is beginning to lightning and the wind is making a growly noise like in the movie twister. I rode Teev today and the wind had to be gusting at times to about 50 mph. It was in the yard. I rode him past a flapping tarp, a jiggling pile of tin anchored down with a pile of blocks and a suddenly howling peacock. He spooked at nothing. But Teev can be cantankerous and bratty, and one time I was trying to figure out how to make him sidepass under saddle cause he does it on the ground and when I guess I jabbed him with my toe or heel or something he objected by flexing around and making a halfhearted biting motion at my foot. Note I said biting motion. He did not actually go for it to bite. But I think he wanted me to know I was aggravating him uneccessarily and communicating in a way he did not understand. I got off and made him side pass on the ground again, got on, tried to get him to do it and he very mannerly on a totally loose rein backed up several feet til I asked him to stop, then he flexed left and touched his nose to my ankle, like, I dont know what you want still, but at least you are being nicer now so I wont try and bite you. haha gotta go! its beginning to blow and storm Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
Re: [IceHorses] Charm and the Saddle
Nasi is not depressed about the saddle in the pic, he is just a little hung over after his birthday party. When I put the saddle on him I use a stretchy girth and put it where it is barely tight, just tight enough so when he moves it wont slip and scare him. He has never once objected to it, he just wants to smell it, like charm, I think he likes to smell the other horses it has been on. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo

[IceHorses] Fighting the Bit
With my slow dial up, I can't really watch You Tube (Broadband coming next month), but I have been mostly successful teaching horses not to fight the bit by helping them to find a happy spot. If you keep hauling on their mouth, they never know when they've got it right. If you consistantly reward with soft giving hands, they almost always learn to enjoy being right. I don't like to use any gimmicks, just a plain round snaffle.. Just so you know it doesn't always work, my TWH is the fussiest horse with his mouth I've ever worked with. He doesn't fight, he fusses, chews, fidgets. I had his teeth worked on (nothing significant there) switched from my favorite round snaffle to a kimberwick and finally gave up and put him in something the Arab endurance riders call an S-hack - nothing in his mouth. It's really a kick. Even with no bit, his mouth is going constantly. My guess is that it is a habit and he will not give it up any time soon. He is, however, much more relaxed with no bit at all. I have been a snaffle bit purist. I really have never used any other bit, but ... Nancy ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
