>From Rachel: >>>> Problem: my horse, Banjo, is high strung, spooks easily,
>>Rachel, what does he eat? He eats orchard grass/timothy hay, and a quart of Triumph sweet feed in the evenings. I think he is just inbred (he's a purebred showhorse)-his skin is very sensitive and I have to be VEEERRRY careful not to cue him even a fraction too hard or he'll overreact. He would much rather be driven or ridden bareback, and seldom spooks then, so I plan to buy one of those CorrecTor pads, and have been avoiding using the saddle until I do. But still, he is just way too nervous for my taste. If I spent the time I have spent getting Banjo to accept new things, I could have trained several herds of mustangs. While we were at the horse show yesterday I noticed that the showhorses kept spooking when they passed a trash can near the railing. Rachel from E. KY
