RE: [RC] re:bucking horse - Dolores ArsteIn my humble opinion
a bucking horse is trying to tell you something. If he initially bucks and after
6 or 7 minutes stops it is likely that he
has given up. You
are not listening. All beings will eventually give up when they understand that
you are not listening. Bravo to the
horse who keeps
trying. But, many will simply go into a helpless state.
We just did body
work and saddle fitting on a horse who had been ridded for 8 years with a poorly
fitted saddle. He finally had to be lame
to stop the person
from riding in the saddle. The owner had spent 1000's of dollars on vets and
trainers with diagnosis of every thing
from a broken coffin
bone to navicular. On arrival we found a very stiff horse with muscles that were
lumpy and hard.
After re-fitting the
saddle, teaching her how to feel the saddle and working on the horse for several
hours, the horse walked off sound
for the first time
in 1.5 years. Its all layers, listen to the horse. Horses don't buck because
they feel like it. Its too much work. Now,
we are working on
re-teaching the horse how move to help and flex himself.
Warmly,
Dolores Arste, *******************************************************
