More Brady

Me and Brady were at it again yesterday. Started in the two rein rig but had to go back to an Argentine after we had a difference of oppinion regarding speed again. I do not want to mess with him in the two rein and chose the Argentine as it gives me a little more authority and control without beeing in his mouth or nose too much. I set it up for him to have a choice of loping in the speed suggested, nice and relaxed, or back circles `till hell freezes over! He tried the hell thing at first but soon realized it was a whole lot of work! Gave him a choice again after a breather, and he was smart enough to stay with me in what almost resembled one of those weird pleasure jog things. (Might be his new forté?)

After that he was as good as he´s ever been! Spun like a madman, calm and collected in the leadchanges, no tendencies at all of taking off. Just gotta figure out a way to avoid the aforementioned conflict....

Yeah, I´m talking about You!

He´s as strong willed and opinionated horse as I´ve ever been around and has alway´s been. Might start him in the Argentine and get the *!@*#!! out of the way before hanging the two rein on him...?


Will go nice and slow today. Just steering exercises and some miles on the trail.

  1. Jag har kört Les metod på både Billy och Sune, "Jasså, du vill springa fort, vilken bra idé!!" Sen har jag översammlat dem och tvingat dem hålla det valda tempot fast i ybersamling, efter några varv är långsamt tempo djävligt välkommet""

  2. Brukar prova det åxå ibland. Funkilerar skapligt, går dock jäkligt fort jäkligt länge tills han mörar i kolan. Backa cirkel("felställd")verkar ta bättre mentalt på ligisten hittills. Har en till "rö-tott" i stallet. Tack o lov är hon bara 1 än så länge...
