    Odd things your horse does.....

    My boy loves to have his tongue scratched he will stick it rite out to get a good scratch and when i dont do it quick enough he flings it all around the place until i do it better. ive had him for nearly five years and it never fails to make me laugh.

    HELP! what to do?!?!

    Sounds just like my horse. From experience take a few months give him summer break then start slowly back into it. Everytime i got him prepared to go out something came up so now there is no pressure i just want to have some fun and when the time is right we will get out again.
