Re: [RC] spooking + screaming - Donna O'Gara

I find that when my mare spooks I yell Whoa at her. Unfortunately I only do 
that when she spooks so she's learned to associate that with being scared, and 
frequently with me falling off. So it's very counter-productive.

I'm learning to quiet down my whoas a bit, but I finally figured out I should 
sometimes whoa at her loudly when she's well under control so she can get used 
to hearing me yell. 

As soon as I get around to it I'll start having loud whoa lessons with her. 

Donna -- and little black Zammy
