Dear Keith...

Hi
I have a probiem with my arabian geilding. I bred and raised him. His name is Badet and I like to trail with him. I ride with my friend Nancy on 1200 acres behind my home. Badet is a very calm and layed back Horse most of the time.He is very light in the mouth and easy to stop.I ride him in a full cheek snaffle bit. But when we come to a steep bank or a hill he wants to run and or buck up it.I try to slow him down, but he gets mad and shaks his head and bucks. He seemes to run with his frunt legs and to hop with his back legs when going up hills and embankments.He goes down them just find. He takes his time and is very careful going down. What am I doing wrong? Can I put leg wraps or boots on him? I ride two to three hrs at a time and we do cross small creeks about 6 to 12 inhs deep. Is that to long for him to wear on a ride? I have had horses all my 49 yrs, and have trained them myself. I also bred and will be starting a registerd two year old Morgan filly that I hope to trail ride with. Can you help me ? Janet L.
Thank you |

If your horse begins to "root at the bit," that is to drop its head and try to pull or tug the reins out of your hands, then what he's saying is that you've taught him that if he pulls on the bit, your hands will move – and he'll get away from the...

Suggested Article: "Good Now Bad Later"
Every time you teach an exercise, your horse will go through the same learning cycle. He'll go from "Bad" to "Good" to "Worse" to "Not So Bad" to "Learned." That's the typical cycle: Bad. Good. Worse. Not so bad. Learned.

Suggested Article: "Slowing Your Horse"
"To help slow my horse, I hum. I hum because it naturally changes my seat. So when I'm practicing loping, and my horse is going faster than I want, then I sit down and I count or hum. So, I'll pick up speed and I'll say go faster, then I'll sit...
