Saturday was the day, on which I planed to move my horse from one stable into another. All previous owners told me, that it is impossible to get him into the trailer without sedating him. I didn't believe it, because usually my friends and me always managed to guide horses into trailers till now. Well, my new little friend is the personification of obstinacy. If he wants something, he will get it... We tried all tricks that we could think of. Even gave him drops to calm him and make him a bit more obedient. The problem was, he wasn't afraid or anything, he just didn't wanted to go into the trailer. So the drops just made him a bit "stoned" but nothing more. I should have known it. After all he is a dominant and absolutely confident horse, that is at times so stubborn that I get amazed. And he tries everything to get his own way. I remember the first 2 months with him. Bolting, breaking fences, even breaking the metal of the hook on the rope and tearing apart his headcollar, hitting trees, rearing, etc just to show me that he is the boss. It was fun... The thing is, the stubborner he gets, the stubborner I get.
Anyway after 4 hours, I said; "Good! You are stubborn, but watch me! I am the queen of stubbornness and I want you to stand in the other stable today and I will get you there. No matter what." So I saddled up and off we went. He is not used to a long ride and also not trained. And as usual after having enough of being obedient and perhaps getting tired, he tried to start with his dominant behavior. But thank god, after riding him for already 6 months, it seems that he understood, that if i want something I'll get it and he won't win if he's fighting me. So after 3hours and 23km we reached our new barn. But every time he tried to revolt, I told him; "It's all your own fault. Don't complain, walk!"
I am pretty sure, he will go into the horse trailer next time, because he did understand it very well why he had to walk so long.
I just love this horse, he is so much like me.
