He'll be just fine.<br /><br />I wonder if Tex is not a bit like Leah though. Often, when I go to lunge her, before I've done the moving of her feet with yields and bends--directional asks, she gets a bit wild. After reading True Horsemanship Through Feel, he suggested always starting close and only let them go out as far as they can go and still be on a slack lead. It has changed our work and relationship for the better--keeping her always in a thinking/directed movement mode.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-8243015778335781652016-03-30T07:10:42.316-07:002016-03-30T07:10:42.316-07:00Mistakes happen, but I think horses understand tha...Mistakes happen, but I think horses understand that and forgive. :)jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-1949319758164536112016-03-30T04:22:38.797-07:002016-03-30T04:22:38.797-07:00A fixed mistake is not a mistake.

Your intention was good, and he calmed down - he's not going to hold a grudge. In fact the whole thing may build your bond stronger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-36365341202229298592016-03-29T17:47:55.182-07:002016-03-29T17:47:55.182-07:00Mistakes happen.
