No he doesn’t need more ground work….
His feet, teeth & sheath is up to date…
The saddle fits & the bit works great….
He doesn’t need a vet, chiropractor or horse shrink…
…..and NO this this is not a “buck” its a crow hop😝
He is just being a c**t having an excitement moment wanting to play and show off his moves….and yes it got redirected to a little bit more work.
Young horses are often unpredictable and prone to making mistakes as they grow and mature. This behavior is part of their natural development, driven by hormones and instincts, and requires patient, consistent, firm boundaries and confident handling to manage. Like any young animal, c**ts have a short attention span and lack experience, which means they can spook easily or test boundaries hence why its so important to pick a Good c**t starter who can analyze the behavior and work them through it.
In order to ride young horses you have to be a confident leader. You must be assertive but not aggressive, as c**ts can sense fear. You need to be able to ride with purpose, keep them focused and moving forward. Teach & enforce boundaries & be consistent and correct undesirable behaviors. Do not allow them to get away with bad habits, no matter how small.
C**t starting can be so much fun but it is not for everyone because not many people want to work through the growing pains of a young horse figuring things out in this world however it can be so rewarding when done right.
Enjoy the crisp fall mornings friends &
dont squeeze your butt cheeks to tight….
