I had acouple psycho, thoroughbreds and one quarter cross that was nuts!!! Ran me into the middle of the road when car was coming. I believe the Arab rescue I have now is polish, has the dip but his head is thicker and he has the pointed little ears, he's about 21 now and just a good boy!! He still after about 7 years won't fully trust me, he only lets me love on him a little then pulls away
I can tell he was hit and kicked around but, I have never had to strong arm him at all, it takes very little pressure to move him on or off the ground. He will let you grab his tail and he will pull you up the trail, and if your on the ground and need to hustle, he's right there beside you trotting right along!! Have no idea about his past just know, he's a good one, but!! He HATES needles!! That would be his only draw back, vaccine time is a pain!!! He's quick and moves fast when he sees that needle coming!!! don't blame him tho, I don't like them pointed in my direction either!! lol!!!!
so I wonder how the "horse whisperer" did with the Paso fino???
I never heard anything back from her (the lady that bought the filly--so who knows?) LOL I went to college for horse training...and there comes a time & point when it was better to walk away. It's the only horse I have ever given up on. But after she wrecked $2,000+ worth of fence, broke my wrist, stepped on my foot twice, struck at my head, ran by & kicked in my general direction, bit at me and finally pinned me up against the round pen wall--I had had enough!
These were all separate occurrences over about a year that I owned her. Thankfully, the way I was pinned up against the wall--my vet who is 6'4 or more and probably a good 300lbs was there and he shoved the horse over & picked me up around my waist and moved me out of the way!
It was during the vet check (soundness exam, etc) & coggins pull for her trip to CA. He told me it was a good thing I was getting rid of her...and he also told me that shooting her would be cheaper than the visit he was doing that day!
I told him I realized that but he was billing her (the new owner) so no skin off my booty!
Although some did come off my arm when I got smashed & scraped against the rails.
