Hello i love how you handle horses, I would like some advice... I have a gelding that is a quiet, well mannered horse ridden last year trainers cant say enough about him... but i am afraid to ride him.. i took a nasty fall from a mustang (not my gelding) i would get on any other horse besides my gelding I've raised him, done everything but why do i loose my nerve when mounting him.. I love my horse and have tried every confidence building with him but it never works.. is it just me? Thanks,

I have been there, I was kicked in the head one time they had to clean the mud off of my brain.. It was my own horse that did it.. Well I trained alot of horses the next six months but her I would get the shakes ..Then one day < I just started with her and work thru it..Now what I would do if I was you with some help just climb on and off of him then one day just walk a little ways and dont worry about how fast you are going or what anyone else thinks... take the pressure of you

No a gray quarter horse..I do have other people riding him now..But with other people riding him.. I saw his hocks is pretty much blown.. Not only did someone use to much spur on him.. they pretty messed his legs up also..

I have a 12y/o gelding..with a bad attitude.He used to rear a lot and has fallen back on me 3 times but hasnt really reared recently. Whenever i go to lope him bareback or on my english sadde he starts bucking and ive been told to just keep pushing them forward but that doesnt help because he starts rearing a little. He is okay in a western saddle in an arena but when i lope him in a field he just starts bucking. he acts like its all fun and games lol any advice?

How does tyhis stop a bucker did he used to buck instantly???

i've put my weight on him, sat on him, he is smart.. he did kick me once(along time ago) i couldn't see since i am half blind in one eye, when he was a colt he had a BAD rearing problem. it was from previous abuse from the first owner. i finally calmed him, taught him manners and now he never spooks or fusses over things, he has the "Sargent" temperament. he helps me settle spooky colts, lol Thanks alot! its a great help.

... well i cant say hes been the perfect angel towards me.. when he was a colt (i had just started out on horses i know that was a WRONG move to get a rescue colt..) he reared, kicked and bit me in the past.. and

now that i have finally taught him some manners.. we're a good partnership, anyways I will give it a try! thanks he stands and enjoys the saddle..now that he has matured, just the old gut feeling gets me every time.. lol!

very interesting. I am from england and classically trained - western riding is generally a mystery to me but i have done a similar height thing when backing youngsters -wondered why it works. also use pressure halter when teaching problem loaders. . . . . .mostly not my hores any more lol. Really love the gentleapproach you have.

Not cool... I was concentrating on your talkin and then that damn dog had to start barking loud...I had the volume all the way up so I could hear you because you were so far from the camera.That scared the crap out of me. Funny the horse didnt move a twitch but I damn near s*iT my pants.
