I got him last September from a neighbour who was selling him for someone else. He was hard to catch then but I figured I could work on it. I rode him home from there about 4 miles and he was good all the way. I introduced him to my mare and they got along good so I bought him. We have been on a lot of trail rides and he always behves well. For the last couple of weeks he decided he doesn't want to come in at the same time as my mare and so I put her away and then have to go play the catch game with him. I rented John Lyons tapes and it is working. The first day took over an hour the second about half hour and now about 5-6 min. So it is working.All winter he was good to come in, always stood quietly to put his lead on. But lately he does this head bobbing, really quick short up and down jerks, when I get his bridle on or getting it on and sometimes while grooming outside. He never does it in the pasture, and even that only started about 3 weeks ago, at it's worst He did the head bobbing thing sometimes in the winter also when it was snowing, we thought it was funny at the time but now its annoying. Other times he doesn't do it at all. Sometimes he does it for his dewormer too. I haven't lunged him, they are so quiet we just ride them. I don't have a round pen so it makes it hard, also my mare follows me everywhere around the pasture. But if I put her in the barn for any length of time without him all heck breaks loose. She starts calling him then he gets excited. Thanks B**</p></blockquote><p></p>
