No roundpenning

[mscubancracker2u]

you know that i've never looked at this way, but you are right. that is why my horse would look at me like "what did I do wrong"

[SilverMoon2014]

I agree. My trainer said to use a round pen when I went completly tackless even though my horse was doing great and listening. You are seem like such a great teacher!

you're awesome, that made me laugh. i agree natural horsemanship is just a way of convincing 13 yr olds that they're "playing" with their horse and forging a "strong and loving" bond. i've never been a fan of he round pen and neither is my horse.

Wise words indeed.

Unfortunately, having started out as, first, a John Lyons student & second, as a Monty Roberts student, I have invested nearly 400 hours in the round pen (& also bought an expensive round) over the last two years--& Bodhi the OTTB simply hates to enter the round pen.

We are--I am, now stuck & at an impasse in my relationship with Bodhi.
