Anyway, wondering if you could put a plug- or a review, for the movie BUCK, either here or on fugly. I just saw it and was absolutely amazed. There were some gaps in his story, but I thought it was very well done. It would be good to discuss it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-48231317437694675662011-08-27T22:06:28.713-06:002011-08-27T22:06:28.713-06:00I've been bolted with like that a couple of ti...I've been bolted with like that a couple of times, once on a pony as a child (adult companion caught up and grabbed the bridle) and once on an ex racing mare (I bailed).

You get them to trust you and work for you and they'd walk through fire if you asked them to. Its generally an, um, interesting road to get there, but once you are its amazing. <br /><br />My first horse was a bit of a lunatic who didn't trust anyone. He'd been given about a thousand reasons not to and had a tendency to do the panic bolt when frightened. It took me a good 6 months to get him to stop doing that (with me...), but once he decided I was okay, he was awesome.Candy'sGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714758020336093821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-83934235257801187322011-08-25T16:03:08.982-06:002011-08-25T16:03:08.982-06:00Urgggg...I just got that shaky feeling in my legs ...Urgggg...I just got that shaky feeling in my legs and gut reading this, I crashed off a bolter and still haven't quite recovered mentally from it.Beatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908647005878694680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-13753142766773046762011-08-25T15:21:34.538-06:002011-08-25T15:21:34.538-06:00Cupcake, that was the rescued colt.

Step on one or two and then say that again...<br /><br />I hate the powder keg feeling ones (mental powder keg) that you're never sure if they'll blow. Tally had proven that she'll blow and it took a special sensitivity and rider she trusted (go Mugs!) to get anything safe and productive out of her, and even then, you know it's in there...<br /><br />Interesting thread on CoTH <a href="http://www.chronofhorse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312694" rel="nofollow">related to this</a> One of the points I made was: When you've been more than just ran off with ~ when they reach the stage of no brain ~ the completely blank mind or the terror filled mind, that is the worst feeling. ...the fall wasn't nearly as awful as the bolt. I can still remember the relief I felt as he finally fell, "Thank God I am finally getting off this f-ing horse!"... If you'd rather have a rotational fall at 25 or 30 mph than stay on the horse? That's what riding a bolter is like.Bifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648037666735227722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-40262924379210773692011-08-25T13:36:40.797-06:002011-08-25T13:36:40.797-06:00Ditto to all of the above.
