I went through this a few years ago. Don't force yourself to ride. It will only create anxiety. What I did (and I trained all of my horses myself) was to do the same thing I did when I trained them. I just got on them and sat. I made sure I did this…
Hi Renee, I see there's a PWHAT ride at Williamsport Lake next Saturday the 27th, I'd like to make that one weather permitting. You don't have to be a member to ride with PWHAT but are welcome to join any time.
This Saturday I HAVE to do some projec…
Hi Nancy,
You sound more like me than anyone else. I too am having anxiety about pulling the trailer. I do have two young horses that I'm a lot more at ease with. I had a buckskin mare that threw me twice. I'm really going to try this year. You are…
Hello R. Phillips
I am 50 something and have had horses since I was 19ish -- there was only one horse Love of My Life, he got to be 23 and was hit by lightning. I have tried several animals and now have two TWH's that I plan to keep. I have had anxi…
I'll check it out. Anything's worth a try. I'm tired of fighting with this horse. Oh yes, he's an ex -racehorse.
When I first got my quarter mare she was pretty fired up...I think she had been ridden by kids who knew how to ride and liked to run! Summer seemed like she wanted to go faster than what I wanted to go. My vet told me to try Thiamine powder (availab…
I think I need to get my gelding on some thing like that He is Clinton Anderson trained (by Me) but he seems to have lost it lately. He's spooky and flighty and won't get in the trailer anymore. I recently took him trail riding a couple of times and…
looks to me that you have a pretty good support system here. don't give up riding just yet. listen and learn, there is much good advise here.
Everyone so far has some pretty sage advice, but no one has mentioned supplementing. I bought one of my geldings (an Arab cross) at a university auction- he was being sold because he was so nervous that he was too dangerous for their equestrian team…
When i got back into this in my 40's, i never imagined how much there was to learn, i had a pony in my teen years and the faster the better right ! i got a sharp reminder that this is NOT like riding a bike ! after my wreck, BUT i got some help and…
Amen to that, sister! Good riding buddies are essential! You can take lessons, work on the ground work, lunging, etc...but once you are ready to ride that trail, good riding buddies who will ride with you, at your pace and level of confidence, helps…
Hey girl, most all of us have been there at some point or another. Fear is one of those things that can help you survive, if it is managable. You just have to get it back to a manageable level. Hang in there!
Hi All--Your sharing has made me feel really wonderful!!! And here I've been riding, or maybe just taking care of horses since 1976, with the emphasis on taking care of rather than riding. Barn chores were my way of avoiding riding. I think I've rea…
Hey Rueben, I use Clinton's methods right now, but before I got back into messing with horses I did a fair amount of research on different trainers and their methods. I don't think I have ever heard of Marv Walker...I will google him and see what I…

Dawn said… - Hi, that thing is called a Stop and Go, also known as a Jawbreaker. Girl I got my old mare and her son from used that on them. Can be bought at Tractor Supply. I wouldn't use it. I switched them over to a snaffle and a Tom Thumb. Girl didn't like to put a bit in the mares mouth as she was broke by an idiot that tied her chin back to set head and almost cut her tongue off. I don't know why she didn't just use a hackamore. Dawn
