I can relate because B. is very similar in temperament and my trainer has recently been suggesting that I might move forward faster if I found a more mellow horse to lease. Sending you good vibes and wishing you a week of good rides and great margaritas.

It's like Groundhog Day, except not even remotely funny, and like you say it causes so much self doubt. The only way I've found to deal is just putting her to work and not letting her think about anything else. I enjoy having her around partly because she's different and quirky and interesting, but I seem to go through phases with how much I really want to work with her :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-83326620945642064602015-03-12T17:13:34.641-07:002015-03-12T17:13:34.641-07:00This sounds amazingly similar to the Arab that I o...This sounds amazingly similar to the Arab that I owned. I spent so many hours trying to desensitize her but none of it worked. She was fine with a tarp but as soon as I tried to do the same thing with a blanket she would loose her mind. Then three weeks later if I tried the tarp again it was like I'd never gotten her comfortable with it. It was completely frustrating and caused me to have so much self doubt so I completely understand where you are coming from.Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.com
