Well... yeah... how about you just get a bigger stick to beat him with? That cuts out all the hassle

hell chick! I don't have a death wish! I don't carry a whip AT ALL!!!

it took me 6mths before I could roll my wrist over to look at my watch while riding without him bolting in panic, a stick would send him over the edge and he'd kill me first cause I should know better and then throw himself off a cliff because he just didn't see it in the resulting bolt!

eek!!!

(but I do withhold oddfellows if he doesn't perform well and he does try hard for them )

hehehe

Are our horses twinsies? Coz mine will bend over backwards and twist himself in a pretzel for an oddfellow

He can however handle a whip no problems - though I think he's kinda into the B&D...

Mac is only anti rider and "things" because of his abuse issues, he can take spurs OK, not that we often need them.

But yes oddfellows have been favourites of all mine over the years, when Mac was first intro'd to them he didn't want to know but was disgusted that when he turned his nose up at them the other horses got them, so he eventually took one and sucked it!

He was slurping away happily and accidentally bit one and as it crunched in 2 he spat it out. I picked it up and he took it again and sucked it like a kid with a lollipop hehehe.

Hes never looked back since
