The in the loop message
What a great email this morning. Right now I have an extremely tough horse in training. The hardest scariest horse I’ve ever started. He’s down right beautiful but he’s near impossible to catch. I’m a fairly decent hand but today’s in the loop was spot on. I had to give him yesterday off because in reality I needed a break lol. He could do it all day long but boy did he frustrate the heck outta me. I think about quitting and for a brief moment I got kinda upset about not being able to catch the sucker. I’ve spent over a week trying to touch and catch him in a small pen. Now I can rope him but I want him to want to be caught so I haven’t. It’s been slow and staying in bed sounds better than work for sure. I have caught him a couple good times only to have to restart from the beginning the very next day. Could use some pointers maybe but I know in my heart I ain’t no quitter. If I quit it’s this horses last chance and he’ll be put down. I just know there’s a good horse in there. Thanks for the message Richard

at what point do you call the owner and let them down?? It’s a terrible thing to admit defeat and I know I’m a decent horseman but he’s a trauma llama. Now he’s coming at me with bad intentions. Even if I can get to him the owners are a bit older and the man is a really good horseman but I know he’s scared him. I have done so much. He’s not a horse you can ever trust. 2 2hr sessions for a couple of weeks and he’s never let me catch him again. I feel so sick about the conversation I’m going to have to have. This is the second horse in my career where it seems to be a brain thing. Too many good ones out there.
