Re: [RC] lunging pre ride - Angie FuraI used to think that too. But as I got older, I learned that its not worth risking my life to get on a horse that is so excited that he doesn't even know I'm there. I think the siutation Ranelle describes is a little different than what I had in mind. If my horse is excited, but repsonsive, I'll mount up and go. But if he is so keyed up that he's not listening at all, I'll make sure to get his attention and remind him that I'm the leader before I get in the saddle.

Do far, he has been right in my experience. I do believe it assumes a horse who is trained to ride...VBG On Jan 30, 2009, at 8:41 AM, Ranelle Rubin wrote: =
