U Rock ‘n Ride member Karen is having a heck of a time with her mare Tequila. She’s getting a little frustrated and wants our help. Read on to get a better picture and then if you’re up for it, share some wisdom!
One of our newest members PENELOPE asked for some suggestions for her draft crosses - she has six of them! They are heavy and slow going forward. She's working in a round pen but one of her guys tired to jump it! This particular horse, Oliver, is three and otherwise very gentle, fears nothing! She could use our thoughts on how to get his attention and respect. Let's help her out by lending some great ideas right here!
If you've been around horses at all, you know the joy of trying to catch a horse that doesn't want to be caught. At U Rock 'n Ride we're about taking it slow and being consistent.
We love Stable Management and we love John Lyons. Here's a great primer on what we need to be thinking about when loading our horses (both the willing and not so willing) found in the current issue of Stable Management Magazine.
