Unless they already came to me with problems, all my animals are very well behaved and willing. <br /><br />That is great that Dusty is so responsive to your cues. Harley is like that. Extremely light and I also feel that sometimes he responds just as I am simply thinking the thought. That's my favorite kind of horse to ride.Greener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367127003525577065.post-34776978424322440522013-11-05T20:08:34.814-05:002013-11-05T20:08:34.814-05:00Love the photo.

Would you be so kind as to respond with a link to that post?

In other words there were a lot of mistakes made training horses and me too."<br />Yeah. I like this... the other thing trainers did for me/us was put pressure on us to compete. Sometimes a goal is a good thing, but sometimes it can push horse & rider out of their comfort zone way too soon.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367127003525577065.post-46452528256826202762013-11-03T22:31:18.128-05:002013-11-03T22:31:18.128-05:00That sounds like a really nice partnership.
