[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 477028, member: 1726"] Well, I have had my boys back from the trainer for a few weeks now. They are doing well in the saddle. Getting one of them in the bridle was a problem. Getting both of them in the trailer was a problem. What happens to these guys? It's like they forgot everything I thought them. So, I worked both at the back of the trailer making them move and then leading up to the back and tapping the ankles with my stick if necessary. The will load upon command again now to make a longer story short. :lol: The bucker decided he wasn't taking the bit anymore. So, I get him out in a halter and start working the bridle up REAL easy and taking it away. All was well until I touched his lips and up in the air, twisting the head to shake me, and back. So I take the opportunity to wait for him to come down and give me some slack in the halter. When he did I popped the lead which caused the halter to pop him across the nose. It only took three repeats of the aforementioned exercise before he got the idea. I would just wait for him to start back down and pop the halter. He stood for 8-10 put on's and take offs of the bridle after that. These guys sure picked up some bad habits. I didn't have these problems before sending them to a "finisher". I was wanting to start them on cattle but now I have to fix these other issues AGAIN. :x Sorry, just venting. [/QUOTE]
