Michael Means good morning.  I hope you're ok.  Lungeing is always good, but I have a few questions for you.  How long was she at the trainer?  Did the filly act squirrely when you saddled her?  I don't mind a tight hind cinch.  They need to get used to that, right?

Amy Hershey we mailed you a package a few days ago.  Richard

Hi Jared,  We'll keep going.  I have a couple other horses that we'll be videoing as well.  Box work, too.  Thanks and have a good day.  Richard

Hi Amy,  Great to hear from you.  This platform has a habit of hiding these questions from me so please forgive my late response.  You have to build the life slowly in these types of horses because sometimes if you try to rush them, they will just quit.  I just take a week or so and get them moving off the cluck and smooch with the aid of my flag.  I cluck a few times then add the flag in increasing intensity until they move those feet, then stop asking.  I repeat until they will bring up the life in those feet just off the cluck.  Then, I ask for the trot in the same fashion.  Go slow and don't get frustrated.  The biggest problem people run into in their situation, is that they want too much too fast.  They want a lope the first day so they keep pushing until the horse just stops completely out of frustration.  These types of horses are not aloof, they are just very stoic.  I'd bet he's trying to figure it out, It's just that his flight response is a little undeveloped!😂.
