Everything is so slow with him. <br /><br />Kara,<br />I have thought about having Brad help with the leading when I do it. Echo is still really silly about letting Brad near him though. It's funny how Griffin turned out to be the calmer one. I thought when you first got him he was going to be trouble because of the remark the BLM guy made...so much for that.arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09089402069527140627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905830803741462835.post-43110220019095984842009-12-07T17:55:09.250-08:002009-12-07T17:55:09.250-08:00I was scared to death to lead the wild ones out of...I was scared to death to lead the wild ones out of their pens too (not scared so much as my imagination was going overtime about all the things that could go wrong if they were to pull away from me). I was especially worried with Griffin, since he's bigger than Kachina and is not as comfortable with people. So, I just had Todd walk beside me with a second leadrope (also attached to the halter). So I was basically leading, but we had that backup rope just in case anything were to happen and we needed either both of us pulling, or if he pulled away from me. I never would have lead him out if he hadn't already been pretty good about facing me when I pulled on his halter inside his little pen. And surprisingly, he was great on his first time out. Kachina was the spooky one that came unglued a couple of times...but they can only go so far as long as you keep them facing you. Kachina freaked out and backed up for quite a bit before she worked the spook out and decided that continuing to back wasn't doing her any good.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17723871612780795334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905830803741462835.post-1361364610799314262009-11-24T05:46:42.912-08:002009-11-24T05:46:42.912-08:00My gelding, Sunni, did that for about a year.

Now he leads very well. In fact, of all my horses, he leads the best! He is always even with me, never gets ahead. I almost don't need a lead rope!Cheryl Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211625006758463474noreply@blogger.com
