yes, i need help in this area also, with stonewall who threw me doing it, and with Teev, who hasnt hurt me and hasnt hurt another horse, but i get lots of ooh his ears are back he's not a kicker is he and i say no and everyone laughs about it who rides with me a lot but I think it would just be nice if he could totally relax and go with the flow. What if another horse attacked him (us) for it?? a woman rode a two year old QH one day and when teev did his ears at him that young horse seemed to want to pester us the whole ride and I just dropped back away from him entirely. but then with teev i have to remember he does his ears as a "comment" in general on things and it doesnt seem to mean what it means with other horses. I think his means a tenth maybe of what other horses mean. If jaspar flattens his ears, i mean, oh boy hang on somebodys gonna GET it. Teev flattens his ears when he turns and smells a hair brush in your hand and not a carrot. some horses are expressive. but some horses are dangerous kickers... i think maybe we are into the holiday season with too much sugar and happy hours and too much food haha. makes people flatten their ears at one another :) janice-- yipie tie yie yo
