After falling off a couple times I would lunge him before I rode. One day I lunged him in his tack and tied the reins in a big knot. They bounced on his neck and down when his head dumping the reins. The best I can figure is that he didn't like anyone laying on his neck or ducking. He has a big jump and people tend to lay low on those horses. I learned to just stay off his neck and if we had an"oops" jumps I would brace my self and get his head up on landing. He has not done it in 6 years.Amy @ Diary of a Horse Obsessed Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310154143848077322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-66030990873714556422013-11-05T19:25:18.838-05:002013-11-05T19:25:18.838-05:00He's lucky that he has you!

Sometimes I go in and ride like I started riding a week ago. He's the same way. He let's stuff get in his cute head.Amy @ Diary of a Horse Obsessed Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310154143848077322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-87199436278548742102013-11-05T11:22:04.984-05:002013-11-05T11:22:04.984-05:00I think some horses, like some riders, don't e...I think some horses, like some riders, don't enjoying showing as much as others. Kind of like standard tests: some kids who are super smart suck at standardized tests -- it doesn't make them any less intelligent, just not good at taking those types of tests. <br /><br />Maybe Tank doesn't like standardized testing?Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697362741342101748noreply@blogger.com
