THANQ
I can only say this. Dr Kiley-Worthington's book, 'The Behaviour of Horses' is the most succinct and pertinent volume on equines I have read - only those who have read it... and understood it... will know what I mean. I am not a rider of horses... though I was well taught to do so when I was 6 to 15 (I am now 54), I take far more pleasure working with them and learning from them. If only people would listen, eqines will talk, once they know someone is listening. Mine talks constantly in private, but he goes mute when anybody else is around!!! He talks to me and that's that. I have no problem with this, in fact I take it as an honour, he chose me and that's that. He was a bottle fed Colt, and I was introduced to him when he was 10 months old because he was a bit of a handful with rearing. This, however, was dealt with within litarally 5 mins., the biting/nipping (I need not say anything re this as it is all quite normal), took a few weeks more... we got there in the end, but Welsh Mountain Ponies just like to liven things up a bit every now and then, just there way that's all, and owners must just accept this fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a Gelding now - had to be so to go back into my friends herd (but now lives on my Farm with his sheep companion - geldings can sometimes knock six bells out of stallions, and mine is not afraid of anything bigger than he is and is embarrrasingly cheeky with them!!!!!!!!!... he has the most excellent swagger, and I always take pride when he displays this since he does it so absolutely superbly!!!!!!! They talk about Pointer Spaniels, well, you cannot get better than a WMP....... head high, tail up, and blowing.... the signal is blatant!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and when he want's to show off to anything bigger than he is, well, he seems to double in size, and then the swagger kicks in. Do not missunder stand me, he is kindly, well behaved, but he is ruthlessly cheeky - regardless of anysize bigger than he is, and it us very funny and amusing to see!!!! Someone congratulated me not long ago, for doing such a good piece of work with him as he was a bottle fed stallion, but so what, it is all down to handling... get that right and the rest will follow.
ReplyDeleteI need to speak with Dr K-W, and I would be most grateful if, should she might see this, or someone who knows her might tell her please, if she would please contact me via email at BRMCO@aol.com Yes, there is a tel,no. but I would prefer email to begin with.
Thankyou for reading this. Regards, Bernard R.Moore
