The auctioneer would say: "Look how gentle that horse is. Even a kid can ride it." I'd laugh to myself.

My horse, being patient and allowing me to pony a young mare all afternoon, decided he'd had enough when a fast car decided to spook him into full rodeo mode. We parted quickly, I experienced short term freefall, and he ran home and waited for me at the gate. <BR/><BR/>I climbed back on after I penned the mare and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-66793579162879811572007-08-27T18:32:00.000-06:002007-08-27T18:32:00.000-06:00It could also be the horse was saying he didn't wa...It could also be the horse was saying he didn't want anyone but you riding him.

Mostly, the horse wants you to know they're really in charge and you have to earn their respect before you can ride. <BR/><BR/>Lesson one: don't climb on any horse unless you are bound and determined to hang on no matter what.
