Just wondered how you cope?
I have one and find it very very tiring at times, 1 step forward 300 steps back!!

Another thing in this book which seemed a bit new to me was not to praise a horse after it has threatened to spook but gone past it as you are praising their behaviour, I can never really get the hang of this bit.
Thanks girls.
I have owned him for 2 1/2 years. He is both nervous and spooky whilst ridden and in hand.
no i never do that, you are reassuring the horse for being scared. You are in effect telling them good boy, thanks for telling me we were going to get eaten.
Oh Yes! Makes rides jolly exciting.
I'm hoping that in time she will trust me more and I'll trust her more...it's a real journey.
