I LOVE these Morgans, but man, they do have a mind of their own. Justin has what I call "flashbacks;" he'll ball up like a coiled spring, start high-stepping with his head in the air and his back all hollow, snorting and ducking behind the bit, the WORKS. It's quick, too...we'll go from having a nice ride to OH MY LORD IT'S THE PARK MORGAN PLEASURE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! in about ten seconds. Heh. I've found that transitions keep him focused and working, and derailing the 'snowball effect' of "faster faster FASTER FASTER MORE AND MORE TENSE" by just bringing everything back to a walk works wonders. We're also working on bending and a little lateral work, jus so he figures out how to use his back and engage his hind end properly! YAY MORGANS. He's the first one I've worked with seriously and I LOVE him!
