Expert horse trainer for hire.....

[Patterdale]

So I have just turned my horse out for first time in nearly 2 months. I had a caesarean 6 weeks ago and OH has been looking after him.
Got him to the gate and he started to shake and tremble.
Got through the gate and his whole body was rigid then trembling, and his ears were twitching and eyes darting about.
Couldn't see anything so started taking his head collar off, and the strange behaviour intensified.
Got the head collar off and he instantly set off like a bullet out of a gun, standstill to full gallop which he NEVER does.

Went back inside and told OH, who said, 'oh yeah, I've trained him! When u are taking his lead off, you have to make a noise like this (makes constant alarm type noise, starting low and quiet and getting higher and louder) then when you get to the end you go woooooow and that's when he runs away. You have to make the noise or he'll be gutted, he waits for it now. I trained him as a surprise, are you impressed !?'

*facepalm*

Yipee dont we just love men?

 

[Grinchmass]

I'd kill him.

You have far more patience than me that's for sure!

 

[FfionWinnie]

Oh. My. God! what was your reply?

 

[Patterdale]

I'm dreading bringing him in. Who knows what surprises await!

Glad I didn't let him handle the 3 year old, he's just been following the bigger one if he needs to come in.
He thinks he's actually done an amazing job though so I can't be too cross!

Men!!!!

A friend of mine taught his horse to bog off broncing when he said 3...2...1...BLASTOFF. He thought it was highly amusing to do it to unsuspecting people hacking her out for the first time.

Ooops

Last year he 'taught' him while ridden to canter when he makes a low revving like noise.

He still does it, if you go 'vroom, vroom' in a low voice from the saddle he will canter.
OH was then convinced that he has a gift for voice training horses so I suspect this is part of the same campaign

Just glad I banned him from touching the 3 year old!
