Re: [RC] GRRRR a little vent... - bechackAint that the truth! Went to a "Trail Trials" once. They had a blue tarp in a ditch with a hose running on it. That was their water crossing. My horse wouldn't go near it. Wanted to know why we weren't going 10' downstream to where it was nearly flat, instead of the awful spot that was getting really bad due to the hose. I was with him! This horse by the way never had a problem with NATURAL water crossings.... ---- Original Message ---- From: paus@xxxxxxxxxxx To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] GRRRR a little vent...

And these trainers just couldn't believe that out in the woods, under normal trail circumstances, 99 percent of our horses would have been just fine with any of these "obstacles"... She couldn't believe that my mare had never set foot inside a barn til yesterday, LOL...What so many of these so-called "trainers" do not understand is that the Arabs "get it" after just a couple of reps, and after that, the repetition is just a mental torture. The horse is ready to move on, and can't figure out why the rider won't let it. Too bad the "trainers" aren't as smart as the horses!
