Horses as Partners

Hi everyone i have a 3 yr old grey arabian filly who is awesome but it is hard because she has such a high spirit level and is a LBI. I was wondering if anyone had expierence with a high energy LBI any ideas info etc would be appreciated.

                           Thanks

  In 2005 I had the job of riding horses other people deemed "un-ridable" or who had not been ridden in a long time. I was a traditionaly trained English rider.

 Around this time I bought Jimmi (whom my old trainer paired me with.) The grey half-arbian was nine at the time but was a reject among  people. His LBE tendencies made him difficult to work with. I was fourteen at the time, and I was the first rider he had in years.

Under the recommendation of my trainer, I bought him with allowance money I saved up to buy a horse of my own.

So, you're a seven-year-old smartypants left-brained Arab named Joey with your own blog and two things (among many) that you love to do (and that you know your human loves to see you do): 1) put your feet on things; and 2) luxuriate in that long low Arabian stretch that your human calls a "bow."  You're hangin' out with your front feet on a pedestal wondering what you can do that's guaranteed to make your human go wild over your powers of invention and willingness to offer the unexpected (and to totally expectedly

Friday. Our last day.

I staggered out of my tent (yes, I must be mad) into the frosty morning to poo pick the field ready for our last lesson with James.

We were doing some finesse things and I was all excited having watched the L4 dvd the night before.

Ours wasnt like Pat`s of course, but Kielder tried really hard and got it very quickly.

Both horses were tired after the week so we did more in walk, though Kielder`s natural pace seems to be trot.

Time to go home and I felt a bit sad, maybe I could stay on and be a working student......

This week has been a life changing experience for me and Kielder.

I wondered how I`d get on, as I `m not the best at concentrating, and have a pretty undisciplined lifestyle.

James can read a person just like a horse, and he soon had me attentive and focussed.

We also joined his team and helped with the young  horses, learning as we went. Whether you were a top eventer or happy hacker you received the three Ls.

More later....

Well just finished up month 2 of working on level 1.  Monte still won't do the driving game.  He plants his feet and says "no".  Desi and Peach  are doing well with the driving game. They are already on "touch it."  Foxy, on the other hand, likes to kick up at me during the driving game.  We're going to go back to disengaging his hindquarters and some hide your hiney and see if that helps.
