I will freely admit that horse spooks at the thing --> rider spooks at the thing --> horse keeps spooking at the thing was my biggest issue/fight with Eliot. For all the ways in which she is difficult, so glad the mare doesn't have this tendency. I mean, she did have a meltdown because the hay pallets at the back of the arena moved and it took me like 15 minutes to figure out what she was spooking at because I honestly would not have noticed. I just kinda let her do her thing and the next ride she was back to "oh ok, that's how the pallets live now, that's cool."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309741021554882459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-65380202813897876452016-02-15T14:14:40.274-07:002016-02-15T14:14:40.274-07:00Indoor arenas have so many opportunities to school...Indoor arenas have so many opportunities to school our horses into becoming more broke!Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652933884652697666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-76045798044605413862016-02-12T10:55:22.358-07:002016-02-12T10:55:22.358-07:00Um him checking himself out in the mirrors is hyst...Um him checking himself out in the mirrors is hysterical!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-63048147570961955762016-02-11T22:42:53.748-07:002016-02-11T22:42:53.748-07:00Good observations!

I mean, if you wanted some of that.

Even if said thing is actually kinda scary and I really want to look at it (LOOKING (NOT) AT YOU, DEER LEAPING OUT OF WOODS AT ME!). That said, it took quite awhile to get the point where my sensitive, smart, asshole horse trusts me implicitly like this. Best of luck. Stay confident.
