Re: [RC] new riding tool/toy - Barbara McCraryOur favorite trotting song is Sweet Betsy From Pike. I remember our singing it loudly as we rode over the mountains on one of the Death Valley rides.

That was my response too! I have walking songs, trotting songs, and cantering songs... <g> Am currently riding a horse that wants to get goofy rushing home, and realized that I had forgotten to sing to him--amazing what a difference it made last night in getting some stretches of flat-footed walk instead of just jigging on the last 3/4 mile home! Heidi ============================================================ Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his cool. ~ Jim Holland ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ============================================================ ...but then, I do ride my horses a lot more than most people ~ Karen Chaton ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
