Re: [RC] [RC] Robyn Hood & Balance Rein - Laurie Durgin





I am now CERTAIN Kaboot and Rascal are related!!!50%crabbet(Showdrenrock, Raffles, kabillion crosses, and 50% Wintez II,(another kabillion crosses)(Bask, greatgrandson).We could alternate techniques till we figure them out. Laurie and Rascal(she shaved my 4"hair off my legs, ye,gads I'm barelegged, pantyhose anyone???)

>>>>In? Trail Blazer, Robyn Hood suggests using a "balance rein" to control the hard charging, competitive horse, a rein tied in a loop at the base of the horses neck.? Can any one give more instructions:? How tight and where is the rein when gauging tightness?? How best is it used.? I ride with a hackamore,? will it still be effective??Ted Ruprecht

When Melissa Crain sent Charbiel down here for my daughter to ride she
included his stirrup leather that he wears around his neck like that. I
thought of it more as something for a very *easy* to control horse...
certainly no great amount of pressure. Josie really liked it...just a
slight pull on the neck and leave his mouth alone.  If that's supposed
to work on a hard charging horse I think I'll try it.

Kaboot has been HORRID ever since I've been back on him after the
 lay-off. I can stop his front end fine, but the rear end is totally
 separate...just keeps driving forward until he's scrunched up like an
accordian. He's 14 now. I've always rewarded him as soon as he gives
me a little...he says "Thank you" and takes off again. The more years
of racing he's had the worse he's gotten. I did 2 years without going
that fast and he wasn't so bad but now he's getting pretty hard to bear.
He's never really been "raced" as far as running fast side by side (O.K.
twice in 2800  miles and then at the finish... he's racey at a trot.
Thing is, he knows his job. He's much better in competition. Just seems
to want to make working around home interesting. I like the fan belt
idea...no buckle. Barbed wire? Hmmm

Thought I'd get him in shape before going to our first 50 this spring.
Now I'm thinking of taking him to a 50 to try to knock the edge off of
him so he'll *let* me condition him.
