Man, don't you love those high elevation summers?  They can keep the winters, though! 😁

Hi Aaron,  I think "How To Get A Horse Soft Part 2" is just the video you need.  A lot of times, they just can't keep it together at the lope.  Just keep slowing him back down and starting over.  Trot circles when he gets upset until he calms down then go again.  It's usually best to long trot the horse until HE decides to lope.  Loping is easier for most horses and given the option, they will choose to lope over long trotting for a long time.  If you can make it his idea, he will be totally relaxed.  Make sense?  Richard

Humidity in California?  What?  At least you're getting some rain, though.  What part of CA?

Caldeen Gunter Yes,  those were horses owned by J&J Farms that I had in training.

I personally sell mostly private treaty, but I've consigned horses to the Triangle and Legends of Ranching in the past.  As well as a couple of regional sales and the NCHA Futurity sale.  What are you thinking?
