We(my sisters and I) all went and all had different issues with our horses and we all learned how important putting speed on the back burner was and just let your horse walk walk walk for that relaxed ride! Head down and relaxed, calm horse. Head up brains fall out!<br />I'm passing this on! thanks for my brain refresher with spring almost here and to start on the right path again<br />!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415767941880306113.post-45241481593093087672014-03-12T09:37:14.465-04:002014-03-12T09:37:14.465-04:00Thank you for your article.

We are working on it, mostly I am working on myself! He had epm as a colt and I think that may have had some affect on him, don't know but I love anyways!

As long as I'm comfortable and they are comfortable all is good! :}<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415767941880306113.post-79936826389403535692014-01-16T22:07:43.079-05:002014-01-16T22:07:43.079-05:00Thanks RoadQueen! - Yes, the loose rein and miles ...Thanks RoadQueen! - Yes, the loose rein and miles make the difference. - Thanks for joining the Coffee Clutch!Dutch Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573659544816648399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415767941880306113.post-555307778033723272014-01-16T21:35:30.605-05:002014-01-16T21:35:30.605-05:00Great post!

He tends to tense up and gets choppy when excited, but with each hundred miles or so there's less to get excited about. ;)RoadQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340136040929361717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415767941880306113.post-88061516570826229522014-01-16T12:24:53.493-05:002014-01-16T12:24:53.493-05:00Thanks, Sandy!Thanks, Sandy!Dutch Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573659544816648399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415767941880306113.post-62488873353337378512014-01-16T11:32:39.263-05:002014-01-16T11:32:39.263-05:00GREAT article.
