I completely agree. I do use a whip when working with eli but not as a weapon. Ive never really babied eli. I know that is probably not good for a stallion. Since the day i was born i loved horses. I think ive read every horse book imaginable. I have heard of clinton anderson. I just saw an article ofmhis about introducing "scary" objects to your horse. I think a lot of it could be used with eli. I will have to read about it more before working with eli again. Last week i also got him to cross a bridge wich is a huge accomplishment as it is one of the "scary" objects that is unavoidable on our property. Both my horses are getting a bit barn sour also so im working with thwm on that. Eli has improved a lot over the six years ive had him. Once a cousin of mine hit him with a stick (yes an actual stick) which i did not witness and heard about later. I kept my eyes ln eli te rest of the time tey were visitin and eli bounced back quite well after that incident. I only hope tyhe same goes for this one. Any tips on "teaching" a horse to lunge? Ive been working on this with eli which seems to improve his attitude.

If he's half scared of whips lunging should be easy.lol Start with really small circles and work your way out until you get what you want. Patience is a key virtue. Clinton Anderson is pretty well right with the more you scare your horse the less it is scared. I do similar with my horses. That's so I can later put my nieces and nephews on them and not worry. Hope this helps.

i read a lot of clinton anderson stuff. I think i am going to try some of his methods on my little Eli.

Both horses are beautiful! I want to barrel race someday.... I think it would be so fun. Have any of you horse people heard of horsechannel.com? If you go to my profile i have links to both my horses on there. You can create a free account and earn rewards points by doing stuff on the site. You can then redeem them for stuff. It is a neat site.
