Stephen Gowling So cool.  Keep the updates coming!

Stephen Gowling can't go wrong with ground driving!

Stephen Gowling it sounds great!  If you need more forward remember to get it before asking for flexion.  That way they don't get confused.

Lucas G Truax Here's what Google says:  Learned helplessness is a mental state where someone feels unable to control their situation after experiencing repeated negative stimuli. People with learned helplessness may avoid making decisions, give up easily, or have low motivation.

I think that many of the people throwing this term around in the social media horse world aren't using it in the proper context.  Applying it to horses that perform as a result of a proper training regimen isn't consistent with the above definition.  I think it applies more to horses that have given up on trying to communicate with the person "training" them because they haven't had any success.  They just sort of go through the motions.  I find that these horses are the most heavy, dull, and unresponsive types.  I do think it has a lot to do with desensitization and is often mistaken for a safe or broke horse when the opposite is actually true.  Just my humble observation. 

Lynn Morrison. It looks like we have a few typos on the catalog page!🤦‍♂️. Try Mabel and Mable.  

Katherine Cosper Good morning and welcome!  On an unhandled yearling, I always try to get a halter on them ASAP and let them drag a lead rope around until I can handle them.  It depends on how willing they are to let me get close, but I might use a longer lead, say 10 or 12'.  That way I can get ahold of it without pressuring them too much.  Once he gets to where I can catch him and touch him all over, I'll let him out with other horses.  Try to get in his pen several times a day if possible so he doesn't get his nose too sore from the halter.  Hope this helps and like Stephen Gowling said, send us some pics.😀  Richard

Hunter Green not sure which one we're talking about, but it is probably a waxed cotton from 310 ranch life.  https://310ranchlife.com/collections/featured-collection/products/40-50-60-suprise-me-waxed-cotton

Lynn Morrison no problem.🙂

Lynn Morrison ok, I found out that you can type Magnolia into the search bar and see everything for her.  Rose didn't show up, but I'll keep working on it.

Lynn Morrison I'll do some checking on that today and see if I can make it happen.  Thanks for your input!🙂
