Before the trail ride, she went out and planted treats along the trail. Go forward and get a treat, little horse-y. If the reward of going on a ride isn't rewarding enough, maybe a little treat action would help.Kateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539642068473264986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-25774909005065758242007-11-01T16:45:00.000-07:002007-11-01T16:45:00.000-07:00Quiet is good but frustrating.

You might want to try the spurs in a contained area first.<BR/><BR/>Quiet horses are easier to sell, too....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-23249751351709403012007-10-31T16:42:00.000-07:002007-10-31T16:42:00.000-07:00Oh, she's planted!

I think we need to get her spurs on those heels; one good pop and I think that will provide enough incentive. We'll have an encouragement stick and incentive heels.<BR/><BR/>Yes...the Quiet part is most appropriate, lol!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369244473889348601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-1244275507045890462007-10-31T09:02:00.000-07:002007-10-31T09:02:00.000-07:00Will she go backwards or is she totally planted? ...Will she go backwards or is she totally planted? When the draft cross stall on me, I back her all around the arena and she can't wait to go forward. I feel for Darling...I had the most stubborn pony as a kid. I can relate to those sore legs:-) As Clinton Anderson would say, "She is showing you her Horse Union Card."photogchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822162590502709534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-33133847436433117812007-10-31T07:28:00.000-07:002007-10-31T07:28:00.000-07:00Sometimes a ummm quiet horse is a good thing for k...Sometimes a ummm quiet horse is a good thing for kids...
