Dear Keith...
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
Hello,
I have a 5 yr old gelding and he tends to get a little stubborn. He has problems following commands. Off of him he follows real good and listens real good. But when im in the saddle, its a different story. Its like he cant hear me. He also has a problem with throwing his head. I know how to fix that but I was wondering if there was another way to correct the problem. What can I do to make him do what I want. Thanx alot!!
