I own a son of Drifts Chip who is 32 right now.  He is still watchy.  Lol.  I've owned him since he was 5.  Yes, the best thing to do is not tippy toe around them but move deliberate and do things the same way everytime.  They will come to trust you and respect you on their own terms.  I learned true horsemanship around that horse in the 27 years we have been together.  He was  sensitive and moved like a dressage horse. Very savvy on the barrel pattern but saw boogers on occasion and cost you an entry fee. He is still fairly sound and can manage to roll and jump up then take off bucking. I already get teary thinking about when he won't be with me anymore. Mine is out of a King P-234 grandaughter.  Not many left. Wish I had another.

If you want to know the TRUTH about Driftwood horses, contact the Cowan Brothers, Mel Potter, Henry Kibler, Henry is in Az. Some of the advice I have read I have to laugh cause they have not rode a true driftwood bred horse.

Thank you! We have been in contact some with Mel Potter, as she is sired by MP Thriftwood. Can you PM what made you "laugh?" :)
