"The last few rodeos we’ve had to put her on a different horse because we couldn’t get him under control."

Dear Keith...
Saturday, January 20, 2007
Hi,
We are from Cleveland, Arkansas and are looking for a clinic for my daughter and a horse we bought for her a few months ago to go to.
When we first bought the horse (15 yr old) it went right in and ran the barrel or pole pattern and was as good as they get. Now, she is having a hard time even getting him in the arena. He bucks and just goes wild…once in the arena he does great. The last few rodeos we’ve had to put her on a different horse because we couldn’t get him under control. We’ve tried calming agents and techniques we’ve read on the internet.
First, any clinics that are going to be close to us? Second, any suggestions for the rider and her horse?
Thanks,
Love the website, it is so helpful..
