Michael B. Just stay the course with the speed control.  If a horse wants to take off at full speed when loose, I'll keep them on a lead and change directions everytime they get to going too fast.  I can take several attempts, but eventually they learn to keep things under control and you can start turning them loose.  Just make sure to be calm and don't get frustrated and start trying to punish her.  Just cluck and let her start moving.  If she starts speeding up, just step out in front of her and ask her to change direction.  You might have to do it over and over again, but when she finally departs at a sane speed, quit for the day and pick it up again the next.  Don't rush it and don't force anything.  I'll bet she'll start slowing down for you of she doesn't have a reason to start running to begin with.   Keep me updated.🤠

Damon F. Awesome!  Can you get on our weekly lives and keep us updated?

Lance J. Without seeing a video of the behavior and what might be causing it, all I can say is to stay the course.  I've had several over the years that were similar and even though they never did anything dangerous, they never really seemed to let down either.  I have a 14 year old gelding currently that is one of the nicest riding horses I've ever had and he's like that, too.  Very tight and seems to be nervous, but absolutely safe.  I don't pick on him about it because I figure he's doing his best to be a good horse for me.  Just try to ignore it if you can and trust that what you're doing is right.  Do me a favor and keep me updated on her.  R

Hello all.  I hope everyone is having a great summer so far.  Things are going good for us here in North Park.  We finished receiving cattle yesterday and are now gearing up for branding season which is always a highlight.  Nat and the kids will be here next week so I'm very excited for that.  All the horses are doing great and I couldn't be happier about that, too!  I wanted to take a few minutes to welcome all the new members and this week it's a long list!  I'm so grateful to all of you guys for making B1 what it is.  We are very blessed to have you.
