he did one thing on the trail that was scarey, and everyone laughed so
hard about it!  I felt like I was about to fall and yet everyone was
even laughing about it back at the trailers!  Tivar was in front and
started going faster, faster, and the paso behind me started really
gaiting and he acted like he didnt want her to pass him and we were
headed toward a big tree so I leaned left and Tivar chose to go right,
so I leaned even further left, not cueing him in any way, but usually
he just goes with me if I lean, so I am leaning further and further
and he is going more and more the other way to avoid the tree and at
the last minute I grabbed his mane with my right hand and actually
caught myself from falling by reaching and grabbing the tree, then
when tivar kept on a chuggin there I am ygh  hanging on to
the tree and everyone just started laughing like it was the funniest
thing they ever saw!  So its like he makes his own decisions if the
rider seems unclear or anything :)  One person kept saying she wished
I had a picture of it :)

I wonder if his canter seemed scarey fast because when the QH went by,
he is so tall and long legged, that in order to keep up Tivar had to
go what felt like really fast.

>>>  It was not like a walking horse canter, it was very fast and I didnt
like it much!

Is there any such a thing as a "walking horse canter?"  :)  Holly and Mac
could not possibly have more different canters - Holly, soft and easy and
wonderfully smooth, a gait you could ride all day; Mac's is long-strided,
rough and absolutely miserable to ride.  Both are registered TWH, both with
Midnight Sun and Merry Go Boy showing on their papers!

BTW, my QH, Sundance, had a long-strided, strung-out canter when I got him,
and it was pretty rough.  As we worked on getting him off his forehand, his
canter got much, much smoother.

Hard to tell from the angle, but it does look like it could be a little
diagonal, so maybe...?.  I'm glad you had a great time.  Tivar is one
gorgeous horse, and it sounds like he's a fine trail horse...I'm so glad you
have him.  Give me a hug from Aunt Karen.  :)

 I have googled "Tivar" and it seems it is an old norse god. I like the
Mountain Spirit better. We called him "  Mister T."

I called him Mr. T sometimes too!  That and T-Bar, a nice QH name for a
sweet-natured horse with a lovely natural jog.  :)

We always pronounce it TeeVar. I got the name from a children's book about
Santa Claus and all the places he went before settling down at the North
Pole. For a while he was in Iceland and met a "god? wizard? named Tivar
which meant "mountain spirit".

Almost everyone I talk to says it doesnt matter how you pronounce,
just pronounce the way you want!  Nasi's name is Monasi which means
"color of the earth with a snip".  His breeder pronounced it "naysi"
and I pronounce it "Nossy", which suits him better i think :)  Then
Karen called Tivar "Tivver" rhymes with shiver but before I ever heard
her pronounce it I was calling him in my mind "Tee-var" and thats what
I call him, and my husband calls him "THE Teev", and Nasi "The little
Nostril" or Nos-Man.  He calls almost every horse a name with man at
the end.  traveller is "Travellin Man" which he shortened to "Mister
Man".  One time we were camping and someone came over to pet him and
had apparently been listening to us talk to him cause as she was
petting him she was saying "good boy man!"  which cracked me up, like
we would name our horse "Man"  like "here man!  come on Man!"  anyway.
 When I baby talk Stonewall I call him "Walls-it" and one time a
friends daughter asked "will you be bringing walls ED tomorrow?"
haha.  WallsED.

Janice, how are you pronouncing Tivar?  I often read these names and
then wonder if I'm pronouncing them properly.

I'm saying it like Tea-var...

Is that right?
