Buck and Cash = A pain.

Well, I thought that I'd get off my butt and go work with my horse Buck, who, for future reference, scares the freak out of me under saddle. On the ground, hes just a big bully. So, after I lead him down to the pasture [where I begin to lunge him] the other horses started going crazy. Cash [my neighbors horse] was spazzing out, and of course Gus was, to whom he's very herdbound. Buck was doing fine lungeing though, for a while. Then he decided that he didn't feel like working anymore. And my sweet horse made that oh-so-often change into a pain in the @$$. He started rearing, and acting like he didn't know what I wanted him to do. He kept moving his hip away from me, and backing up. The stupid guy has got me figured out. However, I'm quite proud of myself because I got mad, not intimidated. I kept after him until he did what I wanted, and exactly how I wanted him to do it. I won. Heck yes baby! Then, all the sudden Cash comes running down the hill at full-speed, and runs right through the electric fence. Yes, he ruined it. He's been acting like a pill lately. Not wanting to be caught, being a butt about his flymask, and the list goes on and on. He's getting very herdbound to Gus and Buck too. In that case, I guess its a good thing that hes leaving in June. I'll have to talk to Allison about the whole ordeal. [Allison is my neighbor, and Cash's owner.] To close things up, I'm feeling so-so on how the day went. I definitely won the battle with Buck [YAY!], but then again Cash ruined our fence. Dang horse.
