[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 121603, member: 94"] First off, as others have said, I never like to run a horse back to the barn. Always take it slow and easy. When I have a horse that is "barn sour", I will come to a complete stop when I get in sight of the barn and just make the horse stand. When they get figidity, then I turn them away and make them go the opposite direction a ways and then face up to the barn direction again and just stand. This may go on for 15-30 minutes, but I won't let them walk towards the barn until they have stood for a while and I have finally queued them to go. And finally, when we do get home, it's time to work. I make them lope laps in a circle and work on reining and such until they are handling pretty good, and then we will stop for the day. A barn sour horse believes that rest is at the barn, so I beleive you have to convince them that is not true, and there is no need to be in a hurry to get back. [/QUOTE]
