Of course, I call Gabe my new "boyfriend" and Robert just laughs. <BR/><BR/>Saddle Mountain Rider...It would be kind of fun to try to teach him to do it on cue, but I'm afraid he'll think he can do it ALL the time and I'd never get that booger saddled! <BR/><BR/>Nuzzling Muzzles...I've dealt with many, many highly sensitive horses and they are all different in what makes them go off the deep end. You are doing all the right things, it will just take time. I've been really lucky with Gabe so far, he's just so trusting and curious, more than any Thoroughbred I've ever dealt with. I'm being very careful to preserve those qualities in him, which is why we are going slowly. <BR/><BR/>If you haven't read "Become Perfect Partners" by Kelly Marks, I highly recommend it. It really helps owners learn how to "get inside" the heads of their horses to figure out why they respond and react the way they do. Some of the things are so obvious that you kind of go "well, I can't believe I didn't realize that sooner! DUH."Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283334035989645291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-25960228166235881682008-08-31T15:34:00.000-05:002008-08-31T15:34:00.000-05:00Too bad we don't live closer to one another.

You seem to know more about what you are doing in the desensitization, and my horses need to be desensitized more than Gabe.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538504362683279705.post-65236327111443448342008-08-30T16:53:00.000-05:002008-08-30T16:53:00.000-05:00You know, the cowboy actor, Slim Pickens had an ap...You know, the cowboy actor, Slim Pickens had an appaloosa that did that thing with his saddle blanket and the horse and the gimmick was used in a couple of films.
