Frustrated

Phoenix was horrible today.  He acted like he had never seen a halter before, never been lunged before, and had never been lead before.  I worked with him, and it was a pretty long battle just to get him to WALK beside me.  I'm not a horse trainer, nor do I pretend to be one.  A very close friend of mine promised when I got him that she'd help me,

Is this person who I think it is?

[kusanar]

Probably not, although- that person we both know did offer to train Phoenix for me and I nipped that idea fast. Be glad you don't know the two I'm talking about, they suck.

Wow, stuck up much?

Your so-called friend, not you. While I completely agree that some people should not own horses, I don't think you are one of them. And I don't think the know-it-all attitude is helpful to anybody. If your "friend" knows so much about working with rescue horse, why don't you invite her to come over and see how she does?

[kusanar]

Ha, it certainly would be a sight to see her try and work with a horse that wasn't touched At. All. for all 4 years of his life. This girl has a very 'high and mighty' attitude, but she can barely handle her well trained horses.

Why am I not surprised. It's usually those who know very little about handling horses that try to convince you that they have all the answers.
