Just a silly for the holidays. What's YOUR horse's t-shirt slogan?
HRH Avery's was "You want control? Get a remote."
Quattro's is "What's your name? Mine's 'Whoa, Dammit'."
He was feeling extremely... "perky" shall we say - when I lined him yesterday, and we had to argue about "Whoa, Stand" on the lines for at least half an hour. Honestly I ran out of ideas for outwitting him. He's pretty good about what I call "applied halting", meaning that if he thinks there's a good reason to whoa, he'll be a good boy and stand there for as long as it takes. But "whoa" just because the trainer said so? Not so much...
I'm going to have to resort to a header with a lunge whip, and sooner rather than later. For carriage driving, a horse MUST have a good whoa/stand - it's the most important thing. This Twinkletoes routine ain't cutting it. And I have a feeling it's going to be the hardest thing to teach him!
The adventure continues.

I think Shiver's would be "I'm not ADHD, I'm just, OH LOOK! A CHICKEN!" And Emmy, "Why Yes...it IS all about me!"
ReplyDeleteRamora's would have to be "I'm the Baby, Gotta Love Me!", Skinny's is "I see stupid people. They don't even know that they're stupid", and Duke's would have to be the always popular "Got Peppermints?"
