[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 366257, member: 4936"] I can appreciate Bez' patience and perserverance - I broke a little quarter horse filly for my mother in law ( I know - no joke!) anyhow, when she figured she'd done about enough work she'd just sull up and back up and flop over on her side with you! I got this twice in once day and the third time, I was able to just step off as she was going down, threw my jacket over her head and sat on it. I bet I sat there, on her head, for at least 2 hours - long enough to go from needing a jacket in the morning to sweating in the sun - I just though allright, if you want to lay down - we'll just lay here - but I'll control if and when you get to get up - I kept her there 'til she quit trying to get up and then some more until she thought she couldn't stand to lay there one more second. Didn't yell, or whip or say a single word - then let her up and stepped right back on and continued the task I was asking her before her "nap" - she never did it again and was the nicest broke mare - a regular miss manners. But different things will work on different individuals - could have just as easily went the wrong way - don't know if I'd do it again or not? [/QUOTE]
