Uncivilized Tennessee Walker
Marv, I just have to say THANK YOU!!!!!I used to bonder on my 15yr old Tennessee Walker a little over a week ago. He had absolutely NO ground manners, was pushy, and running into me or past me when leading. *this is an ex-show horse that has won numerous ribbons* I have never own or worked with a horse before so I spent several weeks reading over the bonder numerous times and reading all I could on your web site before getting in the round pen with Major.
At first he tried to RUN over me...literally ran into the center of the ring with intent of moving me. I stood my ground and YELLED AAAAAHHHHHTTTTT!!! He stopped abruptly then I mentally told him to get away from me before I killed him..and if looks could kill...he would have been dead! Amazingly enough he LEFT....I only allowed him half circles before I made him turn in the direction I wanted. I ended the session with him following me all around and ALOT of rubbing over his eyes, and all his "special spots".
So today I took him back to the round pen to see what he remembered. With no lead line, halter or any physical attachments, Major stood absolutly still and waited for me. When I started walking he was right with me! He lead to the ring with NO PUSHING OR ADVANCING!! and when I would stop walking, he stopped on a dime!
Things were going so well, I saddled him and let both my 7 and 11 yr olds ride him while I lead him around. After about three laps around. I placed the lead on his back and ya know what???? He followed me everywhere! He walked so slow as if he had China on his back * I told him before I let the kids on that I was entrusting him with my most valuable possessions and he better take care of them* I think he knew what I meant!...
Well, after I took him back to his paddocks, he whinnied for the first time since I have had him!!!! Was music to my hears!!!....Sorry for writing a book...as you can see I am VERY much on a high from the success of your bonder!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
I asked if I could use this as a testimonial and she said yes. I then thanked her and she replied..
NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Its me that needs to thank you!!!!! You just have no idea....you actually saved this horse's live. He was back to the rescue had I not found the bonder! Now you should see this gentle as a puppy baby! Just amazing!! Again THANKS A MILLION!!! FROM MAJOR, and my whole family!!!Janice*Love Bit for the first time by a Horse FLy* hehhehehe
