| Taking special care of those horses that you know will get hot.
I have been working with my mare for the last two years. Lots of slow work and basics etc. She can get a little hot and head strong and I have known that since I got her. She has a gentle soul, but in the wrong hands someone cold blow her up really easily. I am proud to say that after working with her for so long and instilling tons of softening and slow work we are adding speed slowly but surely and we breezed through at a 19 today with out even opening up. I don't get to seriously work her at home as all I have is pasture land and back roads to trail ride on. So I have been getting her out a lot more this year and she seems to becoming along nicely and staying decently calm. That is my up most concern is keeping her calm and listening to me. So its been a bit of a long hard road. But now we seem to be getting somewhere.
How long did it take you having to take special care of those you know would get hot. Before you were running a pattern? |
Taking special precautions??
