Re: [RC] sponging - rides2far@xxxxxxxxPractice, have that sponge around all the time. Swing it around in front of him, drag it as you lead him, stand by his corral and practice tossing it at a bucket, just get it to the point he's bored at the sight of it. The first time I throw it from their back and it comes *up* from a puddle I try to remember to be holding the string, not have it wrapped around my wrist. >g< Angie -- shgerbey <shgerbey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: what's the best way to get a horse used to sponging? 'bout got killed at the Liberty Run at one of the water barrels... figured my nice quite Arab would just stand like all the other guys did. NOT!!! did a version of the statue of the cowboys horse that comes up on the rattlesnake on the trail and jumps sideways with all four feet off the ground. boy was I ever so lucky that I didn't have that thing tied to my saddle! after about 3 sideways lunges I'm like DUH! why don't I just drop the thing...any help at all will be greatly appreciated!
