Sometimes ya gotta get into them to get the point across that their shit just don't fly. Not now, and don't ever think of trying it again!<br /><br />Sounds like Moons has just about hit his stride. If he is that close behind a seasoned horse, he's about to blow their doors off. Just stay on him and let him go. It's got to be one hell of a ride!Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-18063338568966408422011-06-21T09:39:08.953-06:002011-06-21T09:39:08.953-06:00I'm with Kestrel.

Sounds like you handled it perfectly, sometimes you just have to keep upping the ante until it isn't worth their while to take you on. Good thing you're young and strong, he'd a killed me! <br />Cool that you and Moon are finally clicking.

He's clearly being a stinker and he needed to be busted on it.<br /><br />(Lordy, I'd hate to see what a stud from that breeding would be like behaviorally!)<br /><br />Some of those tough-minded horses like Frosty really do need that level of work.<br /><br />And hey, congrats on Moon!

Perhaps next time, you can switch it up on him and leave him thinking you're going to kill him for doing this bs ever again. I think the lunge line with the automatic response of driving him forward and away from you at the time it's happening is perfectly appropriate, if it's safe to do so. Work his rear until he's begging, BEGGING you to let him stop!<br /><br />And somehow, Charlie, the Giant Flaming Jackass, no longer feels like the worst horse in the history of America after his stunt at double barrel kicking at me while on a lead rope, years ago. I do believe Frosty just took that title away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-59432842361292119952011-06-19T14:47:37.761-06:002011-06-19T14:47:37.761-06:00BEC- I have been there more times than I'd lik...BEC- I have been there more times than I'd like to remember. Rage and adreneline makes us do things we need to do. Desi is 10 and he still does stuff like that sometimes! My hubby still remembers the 2x4 conversation I had with a horse when he and I were first dating( hows that for a long memory?) <br />It ain't pretty- but pretty don't get the job done. You are my hero for sticking it out and making that pony sorry he messed with you!<br />PS- lots and lots of motrin helps!Vaquerogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367676563270560606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-78702754738623639542011-06-19T11:28:02.161-06:002011-06-19T11:28:02.161-06:00Lisa-You just pay the two entry fees and they carr...Lisa-You just pay the two entry fees and they carry the time over from the first run to the second run. If it's an NBHA double header and you tip a barrel, you are out of both runs. So fewer people carry over times. But when a couple of the associations double up, like the NBHA-4 and the CWBRA does a lot of here, they will let you buy back into the second race for a tipped barrel and you can run again. <br /><br />fern was right, I am sore, sore, sore today. Rage, adrenaline and embarrassment gets you through a lot, but boy do we pay the price later. <br /><br />Frosty really was just being a jerk. There is absolutely no reason for him to act like this at public events. He's just gotten older, tougher-minded and his mother's bad genetics are starting to show. I am so thankful that I don't have any more like him. You can breed 'pretty', but that doesn't mean you'll have anything in the end. <br /><br />I didn't think about it at the time, because everything was happening so fast, but I should have put him in Deana's round pen and worked the ever-loving snot out of him. The next time, I'm going to take a lunge line and work him 1/2 to death before, during (if there's a place, so I don't get anyone else in trouble) and maybe after he'll be thinking a little more. I'd like to be able to stick him in the roping box or calf pens at some of these arenas, but most of them are still restricting placing horses in public pens. He seriously needs to be put in a safe place, where there is action all around him and left to pitch his fits. I can't remember the last time a horse had me so enraged.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-79445192335016559662011-06-19T10:01:23.236-06:002011-06-19T10:01:23.236-06:00Congrats on making the money on Moon!

How does that work that you can carry over your run? In SBRA every run has to be made on it's own, there is no carry over. So at a double header when I enter both boys I have to make 4 runs. Think it takes more outta me than them lolcdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-50461883824537937352011-06-18T22:41:18.591-06:002011-06-18T22:41:18.591-06:00Can we say A.L.P.O.?
