[QUOTE="buddy, post: 528160, member: 12886"] I called the owner/trainer and she was off work at 2:30 and the rain had stopped. Since we really right now paid her privately not the organization we typically go through, she was happy to have us ride at 4. So GET THIS, the horse Q picked likes to have another horse with her or she just does not cooperate so we brought up the horse I call Eyore....he is just so calm and head down like Eyore...but he does like to be the boss sometimes so started kind of bugging Q's horse and he said MOM you get on and keep him away. So we saddled up the horse and I RODE.... had no idea what I was doing but I learned fast. At first I was just not getting him to go where I wanted and he woudl stop over and over but finally figured out the subtle thing I was doing wrong and I was having a blast. My butt is not too sore either. Now that the aggression is further between I am confirming triggers much better. AT one point at the barn the horses ran into the barn and thru it trying not to get caught, lol... Q FREAKED out and turned around and punched me in the shoulder. He was scared and yelling at me to fix it all. It stopped at that one punch and so not at all like when he freaked out at the school (he is on a higher dose of zyprexa too so maybe that helped, plus overall is less stressed???) but that and transitions really seem to be the biggest triggers.... He lost the ability to go outside over that and his spending the time before that and while outside yesterday being really inappropriate with his language and he fought that until I finally pulled over and just waited him out. He thought about it, proposed a plan (getting something to eat and watching his NASCAR and trying to earn outside again today) and we went off...no more blow ups for the evening. I can't imagine being a neurosurgeon is as stressful as this is sometimes. [/QUOTE]
