My horse won't let me catch him?
Ok so today I went to get him in for a hack. (4 year old had him 4 months) Normally, he trots over to the gate when he sees me, but lately he has stopped doing that and now ignores me when I call him over. I often go up just to see him or give him a treat/scratch, so I don't think its bcause he associates me with work all the time. Today when I went up to catch him he reared and galloped off, nearly pulled me over! so I loose schooled him in the field, it took ages but he eventually came over..then when i tried to put on the halter he took off again. We continued like this until I backed him into a corner and managed to catch him. He was covered in horseflies, so at first i thought maybe b/c of that, or he was just being plain naughty. Any way, how can I make him stand still for catching lke the good old days?! (or even trot over...sigh) I don't know what I did to make him do this!
What was your worst riding lesson?
When I was a kid I took riding lessons at this ladies ranch that my mother and sister wanted to buy two mares from. I already knew how to ride (been on horses since I was born), but my mom put me in her lessons so she would able to be friends with that lady, so my mom could get a discount on the two mares . Well the "lesson horse" that that lady had me on bucked every time it was rode, the lady stood there while the mare tried to buck me off, every single time..... HOW can a horse that bucks possible be suited to be a lesson horse??? And it wasn't just me that it tried to buck off, it was pretty much every kid. I was able to stay on, but still! WTF!? Child safe, lesson horse, my a** So after she was complained to by other people the horse was further trained then used for lessons again. And the way she taught people how to ride was down right retarded. My mom had me play along with it long enough for her to buy the mares then she took me out of lessons (because I didn't need them) My mom had been raising and training horses before that lady even had a ranch, so my mom was the one that taught me how to ride and train. So long story short, my bad lesson experience was every experience at her ranch.
