I am a horrible trainer. I would rather tie a leg up, and make a 1200 pound animal defenseless against me, than throw a bucket at it. I know myself well though, I KNOW I would trip over the bucket, fall down, and still get double barreled, only Ive added one more thing for the horse to be freaked out about which will cause him to kick me twice, not just once.

I think Ill stick to tying a leg up, though I dont recommend it for a novice.

I really do want to know if the bucket trick works though. Wouldnt it be wonderful if the horse was cured for life with just a toss of a bucket? Im not even being sarcastic, I think it would be great!

Expect more from your horse, and you will get it

I was the daughter who wouldn't lift a finger in the house but cycled madly off in the pouring rain to spend all morning mucking out a stable.
