The Morgan Horse Association (member of) has a program as well as others, but the ones that accept all breeds would be more interesting and challenging. <br /><br />It's never too late...I bet the Mustangs would favor very well..since it would be like old home week for them...Momma Fargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625178164224513103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219177937045620.post-2711632015537943842011-03-22T10:42:41.534-06:002011-03-22T10:42:41.534-06:00Loved to hear you post and I hear you about the mu...Loved to hear you post and I hear you about the mustang intellect. My boy does the whole regulating of the dude string too, although he never has noticed a cinch. that is pretty amazing. <br /><br />I started training him one year, but he just didn't have the conformation or the will for endurance, so I abandoned the idea. It was a little boring too, as funny as that may sound.TjandMark/AKA PearlandHawkeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477324406425990084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219177937045620.post-74357235251386198172011-03-22T10:22:22.915-06:002011-03-22T10:22:22.915-06:00Thanks for the big writeup, Juanita! :D If you w...Thanks for the big writeup, Juanita! :D If you weren't so busy with the lodge, I'd tell you to go for it - there are TONS of little old bionic ladies who can outride us "young" and "ablebodied" on any trail. <br /><br />I *think* the kicking was just stage one of Dixie losing her mind because <i>all the other horses! they're all moving around! are they leaving!? let go of me so I can leave with them!</i> I try to remember to consider physical pain for any weird behavior, so it's always in the back of my mind.<br /><br />I've never taught Dixie to tail! I really should, I'm running out of excuses for why I haven't. ;) <br /><br />Mustangs sound amazing. Maybe one day I'll really be good enough to work with one, and I'll find a gaited mustang.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219177937045620.post-68090162651732198702011-03-22T09:50:52.865-06:002011-03-22T09:50:52.865-06:00I've never heard of "tailing up".

I haven't really fantasized about the endurance rides, but I have friends with Arabs who do. I'm thinking you should try to carve out some time to give it a try--especially since you're now the "bionic woman". You may regret it if you don't. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219177937045620.post-39762721272070436282011-03-21T22:32:36.706-06:002011-03-21T22:32:36.706-06:00I can usually stop Ranger from walking away from m...I can usually stop Ranger from walking away from me by grabbing his tail. I heard a lady DJ on one of our country/western radio stations talking about how she unloads her horse from her 2 horse straight load by pulling on her horse's tail. I'm not convinced it's a good idea to pull a horses tail no matter what, though.<br /><br />BillAllenspark Lodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390004633731055728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219177937045620.post-46143265958369274542011-03-21T17:04:31.374-06:002011-03-21T17:04:31.374-06:00Heeey!
