I have a horse that is similarly nuts under stressful
circumstances. I haven't done it yet, but I thought maybe T-touch might
work and a number of events on which he just stands around and watches.
But I am interested in others' experiences, because my first horse was very
experienced and I was still afraid to ride him at the start of any endurance
ride. And that (older) horse knew what the front-runners had done, never
mind if we tried to go out two hours later. In his case, the urgency was
to pass everyone on the trail despite the fact that he had only been ridden
CTR.
My husband and I ride by ourselves a lot and our horses are kind of
underexposed to lots of strange horses and excitement while on a ride. I
would like to take our horses on a limited distance ride or similar but I know
they will both be going nuts at the start of the ride and am not willing to
get hurt. Has anyone had any experience using "calm down paste" while riding?
Thanks
