Re: [RC] need advice about spooking/bolting - Nancy SturmGranted, this happened about 3 years ago, during the interim my young granddaughter rode him and completedon him. He finished Swanton Pacific 75 like a breeze. G'daughter is now a This is exactly what I did, only the rider was a grandson. He did so many miles of exploring in the mountains on his own and doing goofy boy stuff on Tali that all the spook (well ALMOST all) is gone and his mom, our adult daughter, recently did her first ever ride at Redwoods. Maybe your horse will come back to you kid proofed too. I remember one afternoon in particular when I got a call from Gabe. Don't all teens carry cell phones? He was lost. Sort of. He was up on the side of a mountian and could see the river and a neighbor's barn and the highway far below him but hadn't a clue how to get home. I told him about an old farm road that he could work his way down to and then called a couple of neighbors on the road, which is posted with No Trespassing signs. One neighbor said, "Gray Arab? Yup he just passed here." Nancy =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
