Re: [RC] horse shopping and the spookiness scale - Amber Roberts
My most trustworthy horse - coincidently the one I have the endurance
miles on - has a scar in his left eye from a corneal ulcer, so he tends
to shy and do a very quick 180. Since he's normally such a good boy I
ride him with totally loose reins so I'm usually un prepared to prevent the
turn, and he dumps his shoulder on the 180 and I'm on the
ground. K.
I had an Arab gelding who used to do that with me
until I bought an Aussie saddle. He never got me off after
that.
