Well the other day I was walking my mini, and a few dogs did start barking at us...luckily though they were chained up and didnt come and try to bother us. I dont quite know how loose dogs would react though...people should keep their dogs on leashes, even if it is just in their yard. :
I use Cowboy Magic Dust Control for after bathes, then in the showring I like to use Grand Champion and Pepi =) Pepi does smell really good, same with g.c, but they havent been making it as much lately i noticed, at least around here.
Well my horse in my signature and avatar is a blue roan...and from your avatar i cant really tell if it looks blue roan or not...but that would be pretty interesting if it was :aktion033:
hey im glad someone posted this topic!! I was about to ask about it myself...I've got a lot of great tips and know things to work on with my gelding now :aktion033:
Yeah thats basically the same with me Littleum...my gelding usually doesnt keep moving around after the music stops, and just waits for me to get him...at the last show I was at though, in the B-division I saw a horse get first under one judge even though after the music stopped the horse moved...
Thanks for the technique Feather1414, I'll have to try doing that/start doing that from now on...
Lisa sounds like you have a "fun" time with that gelding of yours! LOL. Yeah last year I got first in a Liberty class, I was so proud of my little guy : My next show will be my first liberty class...
Hey guys, thanks for the tips! I just got in from working with him and today I took him out for a walk away from his little friend...he wasnt whinnying or acting nervous at all....it only seems like it happens at the shows? : Maybe if I start taking him out for walks away from his friend every...
Another question--
i have my gelding with my friends...and it seems like at a show if he is seperated from him to the point where he cant see him he starts whinnying and getting slightly nervous, is there a way to cure him of this? Possibly moving him away from the other gelding more often...
Does the music you use depend on your results or is it on only on how the horse moves?
Oh and when training your horse to stand for classes like showmanship, what kind of time duration to you think is good?
