You lucky dog. I don't know if you know Carla from the list. She is going to work with Dagur for me. So maybe there is hope for me. I am going to take him to her place. I don't know Carla, Lorraine, but I do appreciate that you are going to give Dagur one more chance. If he's not the right

Win win situation. Janice and Susan are right. If it works, you will have the horse of your dreams. If it doesn't, than you will be sure you have done everything you could do to help your relationship with the horse and will have learned lots in the process. Hunter may be at the top of my

Now Janice has him and loves him and it seems he pulls the same antics that so upset me and she just laughs and enjoys him. i will say he is very sensitive and sometimes I could figure out what bothered him but when I could not I assumed it was me. So if you and Dagur are not a match

I have a theory... probably just bull:) But i believe some horses need a firm hand and some need a gentle loving hand. I think you are right Janice. I am not a bullier. I would rather love than fight. Dagur has a stronger will than I but hopefully Carla will fix that. I need to
