Aaron Olson Well, I'm glad you didn't get hurt.  Did he have a chance to move around after you saddled him?  Sounds like he was cinch bound and didn't know what else to do.  What happened after the flip?

Aaron Olson How many rides does he have?  

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.  

We are looking forward to these clinics!  So is Chuck...

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?

👍 tough hay year down here to!

We'd like to see some of that!  It's right around the corner though...
