Okay, Anneliese, I am going to take this even farther.
About 2 1/2 years ago I bought my TWH, Hunter. For about two weeks, I went
around grunbling, I have made a HUGE mistake. The horse had some very
seious baggage.
I began to ride him a lot, handle him a lot, spend plenty of time with him

Oh, good point, Janice. I confess I wasn't even thinking about Loraine when
I wrote that. I was off on a tangent - thinking about how my least favorite

i got bucked off miss molly in a similar lesson where i was the student.
i don't think she thought i was making fun of her though, i think i got
stuck sitting over her kidneys while trying to slide off over her bum, and
she started bucking right there on the crossties, probably out of pain.
I've always been told - and I believe - that you should NEVER mount a horse
that's tied, particularly cross-tied. A horse that's tied is much more
likely to panic if something goes wrong, and a tied horse in a panic is

that said, stjarni ground-ties and will just stand there whether i hold
him or not, and i don't think my instructor's ponies were trained to

just that reason. that said, miss molly did not pull back at all, just
bucked straight up and down with her hind end.
Why was the horse cross-tied for you to mount? I might have missed
something but I have to say
Why was the horse cross-tied for you to mount? I might have missed
something but I have to say I can't imagine having someone get on in that
situation, even though she didn't pull back horses feel restrained on
cross-ties or tied so don't have much choice.
