Horsin' Around Again

This little feller has a questionable background heritage, more than likely a reservation inbred throw-back. He's pidgeon-toed, knock-kneed and onery as a schoolboy. Wife got him given to her last Christmas because nobody but nobody in two counties wanted him.

Have half a truckful of money tied up in Vet bills already. :>(

Dunno tho, there is just something about this little guy I like. I really think I can make a fair saddle horse out of this joker if I work with him long enough. :>)

One thing that I think Allen understands, is that you have to be firm, always get your way, and NEVER let the horse win, not even once.

A stubborn horse may take extra work, but once you get them won over, they'll do anything you ask!

The picture doesn't do full justice as to what he will look like, but I/m sure that he'll be fine!

In a post awhile back you mentioned that you usually come out of the saddle "head first". Sure hope that won't be the case with this little fella.

Oldern' dirt, refuse to take social security and breakin' horses. What the heck is wrong with this picture anyway? :>(

Have been doctoring him off and on for this or that ever since. We've had him on some high-powered feed trying to get him caught back up.

He just needs to muscle up to straighten out that conformation. I really do think I can turn this guy into a good cow pony.

Allan

I've only broke two horses in my life. Both of them broke pretty easily with gentle/firmness. However, when I was a kid I helped a guy break one using brute force. It worked, but I sure didn't like it.

Have you ever seen the John Wayne movie entitled "Cowboys?" I wouldn't endorse it, but I still like the corral scene with the broncs.

I think that bonehead-bending method is just plain dumb.

Horses are just like women. The more time you spend with 'em, the more they respond. :>)

Allan

He's gonna dance to my tune. He just doesn't know it yet. :>)
