![]() ![]() Our first attempt in the warm up arena with loads of other horses went OK. He was trailered with two mares, one in heat. He stood at the trailer all day like a champ except for the minimal time I saddled him and rode him around the trailer. At first he was nervous and spooky but settled down after a bit. The first show was expected to be a smaller show, but turned out to be a huge. I hauled him to 2 shows over the course of the last month. ![]() ![]() The horse(s) in the pasture are not spooking or running either. He will become unfocused, changing speeds and sometimes throwing in a jump or buck randomly or fading out on his circles when we ride by the barn/pasture. When riding with someone else in the arena at home, he does fine - he seems to only exhibit his excitable behavior when the horse is in the pasture. He rides nice at home for the most part but can be very excited when a buddy is out in the pasture. I've ridden for 20+ years, but this is my first young one that I am training myself under the supervision of a trainer. This is going to be long, so bear with me. ![]()
