I don't want him jazzed up and more worried, but I also can't afford to send him to someone for months on end. So I'm continuing to think...Andrea -Mustang Sagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576342393431178404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-51690187156173804602014-01-22T17:39:46.716-08:002014-01-22T17:39:46.716-08:00I agree with the others.

How about the person who did Scout? He seemed to come back pretty good under saddle. Or maybe a mustang expert? One of the challenge people maybe? It will be a shame if such a potentially-good horse can't have a career under saddle. In the meantime, ouchie! You poor thing! We really do feel it hard when we older gals come off. :) In my young racehorse-riding days there was one nippy little sod who got me off every morning for weeks! I was back on as fast as i went off! When my last mare bucked me off, the one and only time, over a disagreement of direction, I not only hit the ground like a sack of bricks, I also cried because it meant she didn't love me. :) Keechyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508060247369251383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-12628447806884717832014-01-22T17:39:04.573-08:002014-01-22T17:39:04.573-08:00Should have added; of course that wasn't what ...Should have added; of course that wasn't what it meant at all, it just felt like it at the time. :)Keechyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508060247369251383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-3444457504343501662014-01-22T17:37:56.255-08:002014-01-22T17:37:56.255-08:00I agree with the others.

I will be nervous about riding Luna that is why I'm having s trainer do those first 45 rides- hoping I'd she's going to blow she'll try it with someone a little more experienced. But I do think she'll eventually be the one I come off of, just because she is green.

It may take a little while, or a long while, for him to work through things, one thing at a time. Sorry you hit the dirt and hope you're OK.<br /><br />I like his eye and his demeanor - the worry is getting in the way of his being a great horse right now but I think he'll get through it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
