Not as bad as ...Tally reminds me of the mare I had. Not as bad as Tally, but my parents told me she was crazy and I needed to get rid of her before she killed me. I bought her as an unbroke, 7 year old. She had been handled, but never riden. She wasn't even a proven broodmare. I had her for 3 years and had fallen off her 7 times in the 3 years.<br /><br />I sold her last year, finally. I had a very hard time with the thought of selling her because we had a bond and she was so smooth to ride, but every now and again she would panic, without warning and off I'd go.<br /><br />The lady that bought her started a business of taking people out on trail rides. My mare is her client's favorite. The mare has even done a 30 mile endurance ride. <br /><br />I saw the mare about a month ago, just after she was coming of a 2 hour ride. Her owner said, she has never panicked with any of her clients.<br /><br />I guess, she just wasn't for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-15967929764445460542012-03-21T12:30:29.035-06:002012-03-21T12:30:29.035-06:00Cathing up (again)

Hope for a nice Walter Farley ending...<br /><br />What do you think, can our horses choose us?<br />I feel that something happened when I ended up buying my present horse. <br />She was at that time not backed at all, and did not fit my requirement list. Still I had this strong conviction, urge, inside me to buy her and I ended up doing so. <br />Have not regretted it one day.

We bought him on the spot. After years of trail riding and 4-H duty, He's her go-to horse for fence mending, the one she rides bareback, our horse we put newbies on, the guy who ponies the young ones, even though he's older now he is the leader in the pasture, he is never mean and will even help out with equine crowd control around the gate or when you need "protection" with cart full of hay.<br />My wife says he picked her.Horsefarmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-8923375675383774312012-03-19T08:45:30.402-06:002012-03-19T08:45:30.402-06:00ARUG...CLIF HANGER!ARUG...CLIF HANGER!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-40257933227434241952012-03-19T06:53:42.792-06:002012-03-19T06:53:42.792-06:00I used to think my mustang, Rocky, was a one-perso...I used to think my mustang, Rocky, was a one-person horse. He always tolerated other people, but he really only seemed to like me. That was until my daughter came along. Now, I am beginning to think I was just the middleman. He was meant to be hers. He has a softer and more patient way with her. It is very touching, and makes my heart very happy to know that my first horse is now her first.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937792806375563386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-5904034430327623402012-03-18T22:56:20.061-06:002012-03-18T22:56:20.061-06:00Awwwwwww...

My husband has only rode her once when I was riding my appy. She was jeouls I was working another horse and not her so she let him ride bare back and bridless. So hubby thought he could do it anytime he wanted. He tried it again and she went into a bucking fit before he got a leg over. She will fall asleep while I braid her mane and tail but if he walks up she wakes up pins her ears and gets ready to attack!!! If he feeds her she rears up and tries to kick him. Its a love hate relationship. He loves how pretty she is and how sweet she is to me and she hates him. Don't know why but she dose unless she is jeoulous of me working the others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-37584088582531172072012-03-17T07:00:27.765-06:002012-03-17T07:00:27.765-06:00Ok, now let's hear the fat lady sing.Ok, now let's hear the fat lady sing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-50978805696890643112012-03-17T06:20:20.732-06:002012-03-17T06:20:20.732-06:00My horse is a complete ho.
