Good days, bad days with your horse?

Question

With your horse? So when is the worst they have behaved for you (idk spooking etc) and then suddenly been brilliant the next day?

Just curious :) i was awful last time I rode...horse felt like a bomb about to go off, bu then the day before he had been amazing \(for us anyway)

Answer 1

Ya, I used to ride this horse named Casper and he is a really great Saddlbred that had had good days and really bad days. Some days he would spooke at the savings pile or somtimes his shadow. But when you would take him to a show he was a really, really good boy. I think its totaly normal for some horses.

Answer 2

When you are riding, this is your time, not his.  Work him in round pen, practice.  Keep his attention on you.  Work him, turn him, back him, do circles.  Practice making him pay attention to you every single time you mount him.

Answer 3

Yea the other day, i had a real bad day with my horse. he kept trying to bolt and buck on me! and pulling at the reins. and the next day he was brilliant. its when i take the time to groom him and spend some time with himbefore hand that hes really well behaved..

Answer 4

My horse kinda tries me everyday but like you said every horse has its day. My horse on bad days trys to run home and won't listen to me and won't walk for me until we get home. and then on the good days he listens to me he will run when I want and stop when I want like and angel. he is pretty much an angel with horns lol.
