Thank you all so much for the replies!!! Oh and of course my horse is not a punk. He would never ever be caught dead in those clothes, and doesn't really care for the music... He's more of a...

I agree.

Well then I guess he just decided to finish his ride without any fussing all on his own. Good boy.



Sorry. Off to change the title of my thread to: "Over-faced or not being handled and...

That being at gate isn't as cool as he thinks it is, and that he is rewarded for keeping his attention on her. He apparently figured it out.

Thanks to the rest of you for confirming what I...

I've had my 5yr old in training for 6 weeks now. So far it's gone pretty well, although he does have his moments.. I'm wondering how you tell when your horse is over-faced and you need to scale it...

We've been at our new barn for just two weeks now and trainer has about 7 rides on my young horse. I previously had him very relaxed and chilled out for mounting (most days!), but in the new...

That was definitely not my intention, and I think that's pretty clear by my saying that I've practiced NH for a few years and plan on continuing my groundwork, as I feel it's done my horse and I a...

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement! It really does help and I'm excited about making the move!!
I spoke with my old BO last night and she was really trying to discourage me :( She was...

Thanks all! I do feel better and I believe that my true friends will understand and stick by me, and maybe even want to try a little Dressage too! I'll also stick with my groundwork because it has...

Thanks! I am excited!! I think it'll be a huge confidence boost to me as well seeing someone get on my greenbean and him doing great (which I'm sure he will)! I think he's been pretty bored lately...

Yes when it actually came down to making the decision, I had to ask myself, what is my dream? I dream about riding a gorgeous extended trot and flying changes on a beautiful and proud horse. Where...

I think I just need a little support and encouragement, so please be kind :)
