Cooper Creek Cabin: Evergreen Rodeo

Things I'm Learning About Horses:

Horses are, by nature, lazy. You reward them for a job well done by leaving them alone and feeding them. Not so different from humans, huh?
They are prey animals and scared of everything.
Just like people and dogs, noone wants to be at the bottom of the herd hierarchy.
To teach a colt to not turn his rump around and kick me, I had to swat him in the rump and tell him "shhh" loudly.
Colts do NOT like to be swatted in the rump!
Everything you teach a horse has to be taught twice-once on his right side and once on the left side.
Sharif is considered a weanling because he is under two and weaned.
Arabians can be hot-tempered and stubborn.
I can't make him do ANYTHING he doesn't first decide to do himself.
If you need to learn patience, train an Arabian colt!
