at this stage in life, I simply have no desire to ride a horse that doesn’t want to be ridden. especially when that same horse, more often than not, says “yes” enthusiastically. his teeth are also very quickly coming up on being due (appointment is on the calendar) so that could be an added layer as he has not been interested in rides around when his teeth were due over the last couple years. I don’t worry about one-off “no”s. but if it becomes a pattern or he offers them more frequently all of sudden, it’s time to investigate. p.s. I usually would not go to the mounting block but wanted y’all to see the “no” at each stage. #horsemanship #nomeansno #horsetok #choices #equestrian
