[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 418257, member: 539"] If, [i]and only IF[/i], you know how to ride with them - spurs will help. So will reins/crop, but they tend to wear your arms out after a while. As Flaboy said, if this is the same horse you posted about in another thread - a ride to the salebarn will cure all problems very fast! ;-) As a sidenote - I went back and re-read your thread about your Appy(again, assuming it's the same horse), and I can't help but wonder if the biggest source of your problems isn't you. Now, before you get your hackles up, please let me explain - I suspect that your attitude, general bearing, and the way you are dealing with this horse are simply too gentle/laid back/lenient(sp?) - that is, you're trying to 'make friends' with him, rather than taking charge - possibly because of a lack of confidence? The horse is keying off that (believe me, they know what they can get away with, and with whom) and he is taking advantage of you and your basic nature. You might want to think about discussing this possibility with your trainer - if he/she is worth a flip they should be able to help you with it. I wish you the best with your horse. [/QUOTE]
