i saw a video of Tom Dorrance or Bill, i forget, the old man, someone
had him work with a horse that would bite you. He would hold a crop
out and when the horse swung to bite it had no choice but to run into
the crop. Dorrance said "see, he is doing it to himself, not me" and
I thought that was interesting. I ride with a crop to clear spider
webs, etc. Interesting I can whack jaspar between the ears a good
hard whack to kill a yellofly and he doesnt even flinch but if he is
snatching bites and I give him a little smack on the neck for it oh my
gosh you'd think he was beaten.
