My last mare used to "teleport" 6 feet sideways with no warning when she spooked, which was no bueno on wooded trails (or the dressage arena). It didn't matter if I could sit the spook if she was still going to smash us into a tree. It took a long time for me to realize that it didn't matter how beautiful and friendly she was on the ground if she was not fun to ride. My back has never quite recovered from the last injury, and that was years ago!<br />Best wishes on rehoming Courage and the search for #4!2 Punk Dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373806920604586043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-60757162966572405862017-06-23T17:35:28.226-06:002017-06-23T17:35:28.226-06:00Clear-eyed criteria will become even more importan...Clear-eyed criteria will become even more important as you get older. I was also a barnrat, the kid who'd sling a leg over anything and who jumped picnic tables for fun. But that was 40+ years ago. The reflexes are not there any more, any more than the drive is. I asked to ride a hot TB in a lesson back in March, took too firm a hold on the reins when I first got on, and she reared/spun, tangled her hind feet and went over hard. I am fortunate that all I broke was an ankle. Not healed yet, but I've dialed back my self-perception big time!
