Re: [RC] race brain horse - D Trefethen3 Novice rides - he knows he can do it and isn't gonna let YOU stop him!Hi. I have a horse that after 3 novice rides has suddenly decided that if any other horse gets in front and starts to trot or canter he tries to buck me off and run away. Where does this come from!!!! Good idea but better is to find a horsemen's group in your neighborhood that does W-A-L-K rides. Join and then go on as many as it takes to convince your pony to WALK with horses ahead, horses behind and occasionally ill-behaved horses who are acting up. Meanwhle, keep up your conditioning because his NEXT race will be a 50 where by the time he realizes it is one of those fast race-type things, he'll have gone about 15-20 miles and be thinking it's time to stop... <evil grin>.I am practicing with one of our older horses and rider in front =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
