On a completely seperate side note I want to say that you have done EXCELLENT covering the disgusting tragedy with Jack the cat. It's absolutely horrible what was done to him and I can't think of a better writer than you (the animal lover that you are) to cover this sickness. Great writing and excellent research. I hope that this isn't taking too much of an emotional toll on you. Please though, keep up the excellent work. Sharna- congratulations on the new edition!

Go back to what she has done well and work up to the problem area. Babys have short memories sometimes. Try a few times and if not sucessful go back to the beginning and do things that work into the thing you are having problems. You might try breaking the problem into smaller pieces to achieve and then add them together. I'm never sorry to offer help to a fellow horseman.

I've just practically moved in with her... • ViAnn, you are a never ending source of support and kindness, I hope you're ready for the barrage of phone calls that are sure to come your way! • Darlene, I have been most interested in the natural techniques and like the concepts so I am definitely inclined that way. I am interested in the results produced by Stacy Westfall, Clinton Anderson and Pat Parelli. We've done some "sacking out" (she seems steady as a rock with bags and ropes and stuff) and leading is coming along nicely. The bonding is also coming along nicely. Some of the natural horsemanship stuff has been very handy until I run into what I can only see as stubbornness on her part, either that or I just don't get it and I'm doing it wrong, but I almost wonder if it might not be too gentle sometimes. So in other words, I'm not too proud to ask for help. You might regret your offer :) Thanks everybody for the great comments!

I know you will have tons of fun with her. I have had horses since I was a teenager. I have showed for years, worked with Special Olympics Equesterians and been a show judge. I have raised my current baby, who is now 17.1 hands tall. The best advice I can give you is to pick a style of training you are comfortable with and stay with that. Too much advice can be confusing. I use the natural method of using what is natural for the horse and just using the gentle and natural instintcs of the horse to teach them that you are the dominant mare in your little herd. Respect and love for each other are the most important things. Teaching her to respect you and your space is a good place to start. I would love to help you if you might be interested. I have help numerous people to get starting and advance in the art of horses. You can always call me. I am ViAnn's friend. Heres to some wonderful experiences.

It will take a lot of your time and most of all your love. There are a lot of great horse trainers out there you can go to for advice. You will hear all kinds of things and soon you will learn your own style of training your filly Sancha. Please take your time with her and never let her get her bluff in on you. She will need lots of space to play and grow up. Keep things simple and consistant is the best advice I can give you. I wish you all the best with your new adventure.

She's like a way bigger version of my dog. Ok, no not really, lol. And just to clarify for your non-Spanish speaking audience. Sancha means mistress. I liked Sancha.
