![]() He was trailered with two mares, one in heat. He stood at the trailer all day like a champ except for the minimal time I saddled him and rode him around the trailer. At first he was nervous and spooky but settled down after a bit. The first show was expected to be a smaller show, but turned out to be a huge. ![]() I hauled him to 2 shows over the course of the last month. The horse(s) in the pasture are not spooking or running either. He will become unfocused, changing speeds and sometimes throwing in a jump or buck randomly or fading out on his circles when we ride by the barn/pasture. When riding with someone else in the arena at home, he does fine - he seems to only exhibit his excitable behavior when the horse is in the pasture. He rides nice at home for the most part but can be very excited when a buddy is out in the pasture. I've ridden for 20+ years, but this is my first young one that I am training myself under the supervision of a trainer. ![]() This is going to be long, so bear with me.
