horses, difficult horses.

So, Chelsea the pulling Paint went for it again. I took the dummy halter off and bam! she sucked back and tried to duck out of her halter. I yanked the chain and she only got a few strides back. I asked her to walk back to me and went again. Same reaction, she flew back and tried to shake the halter off of her head. No luck, I held firm.

Third go, she pulled less and didn't move her feet. Fourth, same. So, I took off both halters. She ran. I waved a handful of hay at her, she came back. Dumb horse. Thankfully! We went again. On, off. On, off, On, off...eventually, she stopped pulling. I took the last halter off, she stood for a quick pat, then turned a little slower than she had been away from me, and then took off. I suppose that's ok!

I'll write about Stormy tomorrow. I rode her! Sort of.
