He is a BIG boy! Great advice for people to train a horse properly from birth to eliminate these issues from the get go. I rarely have babies anymore, it's always grown rescue horses with issues. I have no intention of selling my own horses, but you never know what life will bring. I want mine to be well behaved as it greatly increases chances of a good forever home if I had to let them go.
wow you are tiny next to that horse, I really like the way you handle horses because as loving they can be they can also be dangerous, that is why I like that you treat them with love but very strict. I only have a 12 hh madam here and she is tiny compare to this one but Im sure she could kill me if she wanted to and I didnt pay attention. Ok, maybe not the best mind set to have when owning a pony, but we are both working on it!
Because he was very reactive to it, and I was going to use it to lead him at my shoulder. I wanted to lesson the risk of getting kicked if I tapped him to get him to go forward. so by rubbing him, making him realize I wasn't out to hurt him.
