the thing he does with me that drives me nuts is his impatience. He can be so impatient. If you have to stand around waiting while a ride is about to start he starts prancing, dancing, wanting to go, acting bratty, I have to make him do circles. Then at the vet he had to stand tied to the trailer for two hours. he got so impatient he started pawing and when my husband scolded and gave him a little smack on the knee as he was pawing he reached and tried to bite off the running light on the trailer bumper haha. what a brat. yes, we all have things we can put up with and things we can't. I feel like Tivar and I are a perfect match and have binded so well, but he is not adapting well to the bugs here and is scratching himself so bad I have to keep him covered in a fly sheet etc. so this is a consideration. I am taking him to karens in two weeks to actually ride him in the Liz clinic, I am excited about that, and if his skin is real horrible I may leave him there for a while but I am praying not. he has turned out to be such a good solid guy for me! I love the way he is not spooky even tho you can tell he's very afraid, you dont ever have to worry he is gonna freak out and jump sideways or run or anything. he can be a very opinionated grump tho haha. I sometimes think they can tell what bugs you and learn how to push buttons. maybe I taught him if he acts impatient enough I will let him go and be first, which he loves. because one time I thought well, I'll just go and see how he likes that, riding down the road all by himself! well he loved it. go figure :) Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
