Re: [RC] [RC] MY Million Pines Story - Jim Holland

Hmmm...Dang, I must be doing something wrong with my guys. I just yank
off the halter, go get the bridle, come back and put it on...even at
rides. Teach 'em to just stand there! <grin> Don't have a hitching rack
on my place.

If you spend enough time ground training before you take 'em to a ride,
don't need all that stuff. Magic had never been to a ride until
Leatherwood.  He was like a "one-eyed dog in a meat market" with all
those horses coming, going, and passing him on the trail, but in camp
and at the vet checks he never forgot his manners. He was a perfect
gentleman! 

Well, heck, he did try to stop and eat grass during the 2nd Vet check
trot out. <blush>

Need to maybe add "De-spooking" to the AERC manual.


Actually, the incident did make me realize something I may be doing
wrong. I've always put the reins around my horse's neck while taking off
his halter & putting on the halter bridle. After seeing how badly the bit
hitting the legs paniced that horse I will now use a lead rope instead to
hold him. A loose horse with no bit hitting the legs wouldn't have been
so paniced.  Live and learn.
