My Experience
I have been bitten by Mr. Jet, rode Pony, Mr. Jet, and Cece. I have groomed all of the horses and also have worked them. Sunny is weak and can't do much so in the round pin i just walked him. For those of you who don't know what a round pin is, it is an are that is fenced off in the shape of a circle. they don't have to be big but they do have to be wide enough for a horse to run and a person in the middle without getting trampled by the horse you are working. The round pin is to help you tell the horse that you are the boss and that they need to listen to you.

Yeah the pregnant horse i showed the other day bit my finger when I was trying to bridle her :(
I also use round pens for horses who have too much energy and not listening lol!

hahaah yea if you ever get bit make sure they don't draw blood.
ps nikki (come to my locker after class)
Sounds like these horses are your bff!!!LOL!!:)
horses can be really good listeners but you can't actually be friends with them. a relationship with horses is like what you feel for your dog or cat.
I agree with Ali:). Why is Sunny weak?
Sunny is weak because he is an old horse and he's never had a person ride on him before. Also Sunny hasn't had the chance to biuld up his muscles to be able to carry something on his back.
