(A friend calls this "the Palomino kite!) I added the chain on Sunday, and she's like, "Oh, you mean business now!" Her head came out of the stars, she relaxed, and it was just easier. Spooky things just got a look, and she was even easier on the cross-ties (with no chain obviously...) I'd rather use the chain than tranq her for every walk.<br /><br />I remember seeing a trainer using a serreta when I was a teen, and in *his* hands it was just a tool like any other.quietannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710112022047395861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-67475176386338218752010-04-12T11:39:40.769-06:002010-04-12T11:39:40.769-06:00Looking forward to the next installment.

They're used a lot in Spain- from time to time you meet an imported iberian horse here that has been trained using one and usually it is a training tool that requires a degree of rehabilitation after use.<br /><br />Not the case in your hands, I'm sure, but then whatever comes of their riding traditions, the general Spanish attitude to animals, women, latin americans and more or less any other group that they be perceived as weak in any way always comes across as that of the relentless bully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-56154709353049266592010-04-11T09:16:39.416-06:002010-04-11T09:16:39.416-06:005150- I don't have pics of the majority of the...5150- I don't have pics of the majority of the horses I worked.

I feel sad for Cupcake and I'm glad to see that you are staying with him, at least in this point of your story. <br />"The hard reality was this little red colt had not hit the ground like this. His ability to flee had been stripped away from the get go and his solution was anger." <br />I've seen a lot of kids like this too. It just makes me sad cause it's soooo much harder to fix than if started correctly, kids and horses. I really, really hope you were able to get a handle on this little one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-83395369459231369462010-04-10T17:22:22.014-06:002010-04-10T17:22:22.014-06:00Thanks for the post!

But it looks like it digs into the the top of the nose pretty well if either party pulls.<br /><br />I'm interested to see how this one ends.
