I stay in the house when she works with them. I lost my nerve for it, and I don't want to go introducing a whole bunch of negative energy.
I was traumatized by that big 18 hand girl the first time she got harnessed and stuck alone on a forecart. (this picture was the first time put together as a team).
We did it in a friends barn.
To see a horse that big get scared is ... hard to even describe!
A one ton animal jumping and kicking is something you DON'T want to be around.
We've both dealt with p()*#$ off cows before, and some pretty big ones at that, but still - NOTHING compared to big scared horse.
She pulled the cross ties right out of the beams of the barn, bent a fore cart up, ran out side stuck to the cart, fell over...
It was ugly.
I left with the feeling that I could spend the rest of my life without ever seeing another horse and I'd be ok with that.
My wife on the other hand, with a swollen bruise on her leg the size of a basketball, got her horse up, calmed down, straightened out, and drove on the forecart till the horse burnt off her energy, calmed down, and learned to accept a squeaky wheeled cart behind her like it had always been there.
Two life lessons. 1.) I like horses, but I'm not a horse person. 2.) don't ever - EVER p off my wife! she's a lot tougher than I ever thought.
