haha yah, I am a confident rider I have taken lessons for years and now I teach lessons during the summer at a camp up north and I lead trail rides for guests blah blah blah... This is my first time owning my own horse though. After the fence incident a few weeks ago I started treating him like I would if I was starting a colt. Back to the round penning, lunging and respect gaining. I don't want to use a harsher bit because I don't want to mask the problem but I do know his previous owner used a curb. I guess I just need some good ways of getting his attention...
