You have to love Morgans!

If anyone has Morgans you'll know what I'm talking about! They are a great breed but they have their quarks, one of them is their stubbornness. My little mare is just four and normally I hold her up as an example as what a horse could be.
However, being a Morgan, she is prone to her moods. I pulled her out of the field for a little ride out back to watch the sun go down. however she had other things in mind to do and none of it had anything with doing what I wanted. She wouldn't go forward, she wouldn't back and little girl refused to even bend her head.
So at this point you have only a couple of options;

A) loose your temper and blow up at the horse. (If you have Morgans you already know this wouldn't get you anywhere with them

B) put her back and wait for another day

C) Try and find something positive to do.

I went with C and with in a couple of minutes ( less the 30 ) I had taught her to bow. Not that I had intention in doing that but she is great at it!
