What do you do when you have one of those days?

What a day...Have you ever had one of those horses that just made you want to cry? I had to walk away nowadays, i felt fire in my belly and i did not want the time bomb bucking and rearing contained by front of me working off my negative energy. This one is going to run a lot more time than i thought.

So what do you do when you have one of those days from heck?

I went and hide in my room, opened mail and to my surprise my first donation to the rescue! Im so excited i consistency so official now LOL I'm going to frame the letter. Am i suppose to put a dollar or a copy of the check, you know resembling business do when they make their first dollar?
Tomorrow battle next to the little black mare from heck, she is the devil...
I have faith this one will come around.she better. LOL

I would do what you did. Walk away for a few minutes, or few hours. Whatever it take! Horses do feed off of a bad attitude and you don't want to fuel the fire. Congrats on acceptance your first donation! Relax tonight. Tomorrow is a new day!

Well, congratulations on your donation! Hopefully, you'll obtain more. I know 'businesses for profit' frame their first dollar, but for your donation, framing the letter might work just as well.

As far as your 'black mare', hold heard of the Clicker Method? I have seen it work on horses that are particularly hard to work with. It's a training method based on reward after the nouns of a clicker is made. You can learn more at www.theclickercenter.com

Good luck!

your examine was a huge mess that i couldnt read

When I get upset at them, I just try to take it unproblematic, and try not to get myself more upset. I learned I just necessitate to walk away before I screw the training up beside my ponies. After all, there are still just erudition, so one wrong move could get them frustrated as well.

Like you, I look for the good in the daylight.

I was working with a horse I've had well-mannered success making more responsive, but I overdid her headset and she didn't take the lope cue properly. I was surprisingly frustrated and stopped working near that horse. Instead I switched to another, more forward horse, and had a great rest of the night. I also made sure I salaried attention to the good things, even with the first horse - her great headset, her soft response to everything except the lope.

There's other something that went well, even if it's merely figuring out that something didn't work and resolving not to do it again.

each time is a new day.
let her hold a day off to think just about it
when you next see her, dont be negative around her because of what happened the light of day before it only makes her angry and un-cooperative.

Answers:    Remember what cause the horse to be that way, and try to feel compassion to replace anger. Anger has no place surrounded by a horse rescue operation. It's one thing to be angry with the ones who abused or neglected the horse, but anger at the horse is something to soul search almost. It's like working with troubled children.you are of no good to them whether you feel anger rather than compassion. Horses, like children, are highly perceptive. You can't hide your emotions from them. If you discern anger, they know it, whether you think it's showing or not.
Yes, I would frame a copy of the check. And I would do a lot of soul searching tonight earlier seeing the horse you call "the devil" again. That devil needs your compassion. I make available you credit for walking away when you felt the anger. Now I hope you can lose the anger altogether. Congratulations, and I'm sure you can receive this work. Anger is a normal emotion, but it has to be directed at the true source.

whenever I have a bad horsey daylight, I always make sure that I concluded it well, so that I wont be totally pissed off. Like yesterday for instance, my mare refused every bounce and for some reason would not put her head down when I asked for her headset. So her punishment was the draw reins. And when she did economically, I switched back to the regular reins, and I got to the point where I didnt hold to ask her for her head down... it made me so happy and I didnt feel pissed rotten at all...

As for the donation thing, I used to work at a nonprofit organization and we used to acquire donations all the time, my recommendation, always bequeath them a receipt. No matter how much, a dollar or 500 dollars, always contribute them a receipt.

Congrats on the first donation!!

When I have a bad horsey afternoon and it seems like everything I do turns to crap with a singular horse I will go and tie them up to the "thinking Pole" (telephone pole) and move on to another horse that isn't as difficult to work with. If you don't hold another horse to work with try doing a few tidying up things around the barn or walk through the arena checking for hazards. This will hand over both you and the horse some time to regroup and de-stress. When you complete your little tasks go back to the horse. But start at a spot that she is adept of doing relatively easy and mundane and work back up to and hopefully through the problem area that started it adjectives. Once you get through that problem then you can end on a apt note. Remember to end on a good data so that she doesn't develop the idea that if she acts up she get put away.

Whenever I have an off-day I just presume about what happened and what I was doing at that moment that cause the horse to react that way. After all horses movements, most often(when under-saddle)are just responses to what we are doing. I just analyze it and figure out how to fix it and receive it better. But while I'm riding if I know it's gonna be an off-day I just work on really simple things and be done with it when we accomplish even for a moment.
