You go, horse whisperer! :D Although maybe after you give your poor foot a rest. ((hugs))

[adafrog]

Thanks. Yes, I rested it last night, and it feels good today. :)

Ouch. And here I was, squawking at Annalise for knocking a 3-ring binder off of something and dropping it on my foot.

[adafrog]

Okay, but I'll bet that hurt, too. And I was at least wearing boots. ;)

Yay Tess! Yay you!

Do you have a stepup? I always wondered why/how any horse would consent to backing out of one of those. Scary indeed!

ALso, what's an endotapping stick?

[adafrog]

Thanks!

I have a step up. I've actually heard that horses don't like the ramp because they don't trust the hollow sound. You'd think they'd like it better. *shrugs*

Endotapping is something my trainer (the one that bred and is training Zolar) developed over years. It has to do with hormone releasing and relaxation, and then how muscles work. It gets pretty complicated when you're using it to change movement. At first it just teaches the horse to relax (which is about the level I understand lol).
