And I have a really light hand and a really light touch And with Centered Riding, now I'm even getting lighter. Sometimes it's hard teaching them my ways when they are older, so I hope Allie comes along. Bonita is light already.Horses Are Our Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982276279029143883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755295319011610690.post-56703841778469319192012-06-09T23:12:37.347-05:002012-06-09T23:12:37.347-05:00I think one thing you will find with the girls is,...I think one thing you will find with the girls is, that you can't work on one lesson over and over and over...say, side passing. Work on it a bit, get it good, but don't ask for better in that lesson. Move on, come back to it. Where I found the "cold blooded" breeds, I could continue to work on it until I got it better in that one lesson. The Arabs seem to get frustrated, and will start trying different things, assuming they must not have got it right, so they will try "this" lol Go to something else, and come back, and they will usually pick up right where you left off, with little refresher course.txtriggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165396761654165021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755295319011610690.post-37933652427985427462012-05-16T22:17:33.099-05:002012-05-16T22:17:33.099-05:00That feels really good when they join up with you....That feels really good when they join up with you. The other day my daughter worked my horse in the round pen and when she was done, of course he started following her. She decided to walk faster. He walked faster. Then she started jogging and Harley started jogging after her. She ran faster and faster and faster and Harley followed her at an extended trot, almost breaking into a lope. It was so funny to watch, her running around the round pen and Harley running after her!Greener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755295319011610690.post-24677323723466006572012-05-14T12:36:19.163-05:002012-05-14T12:36:19.163-05:00Arabians are my love because of that connection th...Arabians are my love because of that connection they make with their people. It brings with it enormous responsibility because they are so smart and try so hard and can be so wounded if you abuse that trust. And they are the most forgiving horses in the world IF you are fair with them. They don't mind mistakes, just mistreatment out of meanness. <br /><br />There are many differences between them and other horses.

I am so used to having Arabians that I don't recognize the differences between them and other breeds anymore. It will be interesting to follow along as you discover the Arabian personality.Fantastyk Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065772565014490544noreply@blogger.com
