[RC] Training question for Cowboy Ed....or anybody. - Jody Rogers-ButtramHello Ed and ya'll,
I am needing a little help here. I have a new horse, well, Joni has a new horse. He is 7 yrs. old, came to us with NO info on the background. But, seems to ride really nice for the most part. He has one vice that I really don't like. He will toss his stupid head !!!!!!!!!!!! So, I started him in a rubber mouth snaffle, then after he was feeling better, the head tossing started. So, I went to the pony hackamore. He seemed ok at first. Then he started it again. So, I put on the standing martigale. He seemed better at first, then he got to where he Hated it. He would fight it. So, I tried a bungi cord. Thought maybe a little give, but he still tossed. So, now I am back to nothing, just the hackamore. He does get a little better as you ride him, or if he is in front on the trail. Anybody have any ideas???? Joni doesn't mind it as much as me, I really hate it, get mad, pop the
horse, then that makes him worse....bad cycle. I was thinking about putting him in another bit with a little more bite to it for control (this guy really wants to go) and that maybe the "jingling" of the hackamore was bugging him.
If all else fails, I will resort back to the Bible....if it offends you, cut it off. Or something like that...please don't pick at my screwed up reciting or spelling.
