My mare is a classic example. If I can explain to her, in some way that she understands, what it is I'm asking she is more than willing to please. <BR/><BR/>My heart broke for this poor gelding. I cannot imagine being so frightened and then being confined with those that scare you. <BR/><BR/>Although Mr. Kraft did a fine job, I think he went to fast if the horse was striking at the plastic bags. Slower and higher at first might have been faster. <BR/><BR/>What he did is something called flooding.....and sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't. And it very often doesn't hold.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-80231530015393044072008-07-28T10:22:00.000-07:002008-07-28T10:22:00.000-07:00How about Khrafty Miracle?How about Khrafty Miracle?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-74176345444611282032008-07-28T10:08:00.000-07:002008-07-28T10:08:00.000-07:00What a fascinating clinic to go to.

In the last few years I've been riding Kaswyn a lot in a halter. It started out because we were in rehab and hand walking my horse is a total pain. But then I tried some walking and trotting, and now I can get him "on the bit" without a bit, and we can do many dressage movements at the trot and canter with just a halter. Half passes, flying cahnges, and even some canter pirouettes (they aren't perfect but he does them). I even ride trail with a halter now. Kaswyn loves it and I think it's great too.Dressage Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741448152235721941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-86316427566484866912008-07-28T09:52:00.000-07:002008-07-28T09:52:00.000-07:00What a nice post!

I've been able to ride all over the neighborhood like that. Surprisingly, it works. In fact I just posted some videos of us working that way. <BR/><BR/>As for the farriers, we see it all the time. Horses very misunderstood. We operate Fearless Farrier Service and we take on almost any horse. Much of the time, owners have gone too far in subduing a horse. Case in point, a young stud who fought and hurt several people. I asked he be brought to us. That day I had the flu so bad I thought I might faint. But I got under him anyway in a round pen, haltered, lead rope on the ground. I asked him to stay put and asked for the feet. He was fine!! <BR/>The problem was they had tied him up short and he fought it. Not tied, he was fine. He was a very sensitive horse.<BR/> Afterwards I asked Wade to get under to prove it wasn't just me. He did and the owners were so in awe. That did more for our reputation, lol. Then Wade went around him and stood at each foot and snapped his fingers. The horse would pick them right up! All this in one hour, on a horse no one ever thought would get done. We all agreed he was just showing off :) <BR/>Sometimes it's a matter of trying different things until something works. I believe in not manhandling them and forcing, more in persuading a horse. <BR/>It's always amazing to see them come around.

My mustang was a great boy and a wonderful learner, but after a year of training he still needed to be drugged in order to get his hooves trimmed. I had a great friend who kept telling me not to give up, keep looking for the RIGHT farrier.<BR/><BR/>Then I found him. In a matter of minutes this wonderful farrier had my mustang standing ground tied with soft eyes while he snipped away at his hooves. I cried. <BR/><BR/>This wunder-farrier I found had just started out on his own. For years he'd been an apprentice to a Big Name hunter/jumper Trainer in the area. He'd never even worked with a mustang before and I figured he was going to take one look at my guy and declare him (nose in air) "not worth my time." Man, was I wrong.<BR/><BR/>For all of you out there with "killers" keep looking for the Chuck Krafts and Kelseys and wunder-farriers of the world!!Kateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539642068473264986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-34133810477372966342008-07-28T07:10:00.000-07:002008-07-28T07:10:00.000-07:00WOW!!

It's what popped into my head while reading the post even before I got to the point where you said they were looking for a new name for him.<BR/><BR/>I do the parachute thing on a much smaller scale lol. I'll use tarps, blankets, sheets off my bed, whatever is big enough to completely cover the horse, but still be managable. Most of the horses here I can completely blindfold and they will follow me wherever I lead without much hesitation. It's useful and the flapping, flying things don't bother them as much afterwards.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see pics tho. Trying to imagine a parachute over a horse is hard and I have a good imagination. :)<BR/><BR/>How is Lindsay doing?
