Re: Fwd: Re: [RC] TWH/lope/gallop - Chris PausROTFLMAO... I get a big chuckle out of people who tell us to do this wieh Arabs... let em run til they get tired. yeah, right! I knew that wouldn't work with Star when one day I rode him 10 miles to the lake, at the lake rode round and round in deeply cultivated field, rode up and down and up and down a steep embankment, rode back home the long way, and took a side trip in a neighbor's farm field. At nearly the end of all this riding, I let Star have his head in the farm field. He ran so hard, my eyes were streaming tears.... I had to steer him in big circles to slow him down...

I think the idea was for her to learn it was ok to walk. Round and round that hay field she went. Once in awhile she'd slow to a fast trot but quickly regained her desire to run. This went on for four hours until finally she got bored and they walked home. ===== "A good horse makes short miles," George Eliot Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
