[QUOTE="Farmerjon, post: 864039, member: 17113"] First of all, both horses have had it easy, they know where easy is (the pasture). On the stud. Sounds severe, but you have to become his everything. Food, water, etc. So, no free choice anything. You bring the bucket of water, if he won't drink out of it in your hands, go back in 6 hours. Continue, he will eventually drink. Same with food. Get him able to be lead and tied before cutting. When you get him cut, get him home, saddle him and get someone on him (he can't buck hard, those muscles won't work for a few days). By the time he heals, you have enough hours on him that he takes it in stride and is over the desire to buck. Gelding needs a second horse to follow. He needs to stay in another dry lot away from the stud so he doesn't buddy up with him. But he is just dumb. Afraid to go out on his own. Get another person to ride with you, eventually he will ride alongside and then eventually in front and be the leader. Takes wet saddle blankets. [/QUOTE]
