Dear Keith...
Friday, August 31, 2007
Is it possible to train a Standardbred that loves to lope, gives to the bit laterally and vertically, will stop with verbal and body cues, used to a western saddle and a bit with a shank. Doesn't spook at rodeos but hasn't been in the rodeo ring yet. I want to teach her to do grand entry. I live in Ontario, Canada. She has done trail rides and trailers fine especially with our roping horse. Can you give me any advice as she has alot of will and alot of heart. She is 7yrs old and raced 6 times when she was 3 and hasn't been worked much at all before we got her Sept/06. I would appreciate any advice.
