Attention Horsey Flisties
My mate Wellsy has been trying to load her stooopid thoroughbred since 8am. It's now after 10am. She's having some sort of mental breakdown at me via text. She's tried the ass-tapping Parelli thing, the small circle thing, the backing thing. The lunge rope around the ass thing is a really bad idea, imho, at the best of times, but a flat out no-no when you have a stubborn horse barreling backwards down the ramp at a hundred miles an hour every time you get him halfway in.
He's not scared. He's just non-compliant. Or he might be scared, but he's manifesting with stubborn instead of skittish.
Anyone out there in horseyland got any unconventional ideas I can fire at her before she's arrested for equine manslaughter?
Here is where I'm superglad I have a horse who'll try and load himself into complete strangers' trucks if we pause beside them long enough. I swear he'd get in the cab of my ute if I pointed at it and clucked.
