RE: stumbling gelding

["Budler,Cindy" <Cindy.Budler@afrox.boc.com>]

My Endurance mare also used to stumble badly - and if there was a hole she
would fall into it! I started saying "watch It" in a loud voice(lots of
riders turning to ask what?) , and eventually she got so good at it I was
dumped a few times by her stopping dead to stick her nose into the hole :-)

	I agree with this but take it a step further.  When I start a horse
and they aren't paying attention and we hit rough ground I say "watch your
feet".  The horse of course pays no attention and almost goes splat.  I
purposely look for rough ground and repeat this exercise.  After a few times
when I say "watch your feet" they drop their head and pay attention.  Works
for me!
