High Plains - You asked for a picture so here it is. This is my first picture I've posted on these forums so we'll see if I got it figured out. Not the world's best photo. My iphone case is always dirty and probably scratched. The horse didn't cost me anything. He is out of my grandma's...

I haven't had a halter on him while working with the saddle until yesterday (first time coming back from the wreck). I put the halter and lead rope on yesterday so that if he got a little spooky I could keep him from going around the pen before I got the cinch at least fastened. I don't know...

Thanks for the advice everyone. This morning I worked on getting him ok with something around his belly (rope) and this evening was able to put the saddle on again pretty easily. He gave a couple little hops and that was it. No quite the same as before though because this saddle is about 30 lbs...

The pressure and release concept is what I've been using with great results. This is really the first problem I've had at all. It really is amazing how fast they can learn. I'm just hoping that this bad experience can be overcome. The first couple times I saddled him I used an old busted...

I have a question for those of you who are experienced horse breakers. I am in the process of breaking a 3 yr old gelding. This is pretty much my first time breaking a horse myself. Things were going well until today - had a bit of a wreck. Today was the 4th time putting the saddle on. The...

Found Wilson today! A hunter picked him up on Saturday and took him home until he could find out who he belonged to. I'll be getting him back tomorrow. Life is good. And I can breathe again.

Just to warn you, I might ramble on a bit here. But if you have lost a dog you might be able to identify. I let a buddy borrow my lab (named Wilson) this morning to go duck hunting. On their walk back to the pickup after the hunt, the dog takes off. My buddy thinks he's chasing an animal...
