[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 53016, member: 9"] Guess necessity is the mother of invention! Yes, I have been ground working our young ones and round pen and figures with my PP yearling colt and some with our TWH yearling colt. Trying to do it 2 or 3 times a week as wind, and other conditions are favorable. Try to work with new foals in trust, touching as soon as they are receptive. The PP are much more sensitive and aloof than the TWH are and more TLC and time is required to work them. The TWH respond much quicker and trust easier. On the other hand, once the PP accepts, respects, and works with you it is committed and affectionate. Both breeds are very intelligent. Neither has given us one bit of trouble in ground work or other work in round pen. No bucking, rearing, etc. Don't know if these are breed specific issues or just the personalities and behavior of the ones we are breeding and raising. Our TWH gelding was started under saddle in less than 8 hours training with absolutely no vices demonstrated. My PP colt, now 19 mos old, will not be started in bozal & introduced to saddle until he is at least 2.5 years old, no bit until age 4. [/QUOTE]
