They either run away,so I have to slog through huge muddy pasture, or crowd up if I have feed. Ideally I could call a mare and she would come to gate, put her head over gate for haltering,then be led out quietly. This would let me supplement the mares that need it and groom them, and exercize each as needed. One horse ran past me, her rear hoof caught my knee, and I have permanent problems due to the damage. If I fall I can't get up. (two BAD knees, now) Any slipping causing either torque or hyperextension results in severe pain and a long recovery period, These are spirited Saddlebreds all over 16.2 hands, all trained by pro. Excellent stall behavior, but wild in pasture. Can they be safely caught and trained to come when called? I would like to trick train them. One looks like Roy Rodger's "Trigger", though a mare, and another resembles Buttermilk. I also have a yearling golden stud colt who will mature well over 17H. His parents both racked well, so I have high hopes for him. He is being professionally handled as I plan to promote him as a breeding stallion. Here again, some tricks might make his video stand out from those "outstanding in the field" Thanks Liz Gray Hi,
