The green show horse...

[Hula the Young Horse Charmer]

Ok, my horse is the greenest show horse I've ever riden. He is fine at all of the little shows but as soon as there is my then 50 horses around him he freaks and refuses every jump or simple gallops the whole thing and there is nothing I can do to stop him but cercle him a billion times ayt the end anbd pray the judges don't notice. usely I end up on the ground though and after 3 days straight of falling flat on your ass you hurt....alot and I somehow dought that it is safe for me or my pony. Any tips?

Please don't say anything about useing a crop or use more leg or that shit. I pretty much do everything I possibly can( I am 90 pounds against a 1000 pound animal....I somehow dought that I'll ever win) and his (my horse) previous owners used to beat him everywhere the second he did anything wrong
(It took me FOREVER just to touch is ears and face ) so I somehow dought that beating him more will help him ( I can carry a crop but if I touch him with it he goes loco and no one can stop him). Oh and no telling me to buy a new horse because really, I don't want to malke my parents use more money on me then they allready do , and really , he is prefect in lessons and a doll at small shows , I don't know why he is so wierd and nervous at big show.

You could gather up some friends and take him to a smaller show but ask people to try and bring some more horses for him to get used to it and if you can when you do go to a larger show, take him in the arena, saddled or un saddled but don't ride him and let him see that it is okay. I had a horse just like him. Every time he would see the photoagapher's camera flash, he would freak out and start to buck. It is going to take time to get him used to these things and if it could fit into you're parents buget, ask them to get you're instuctor to show him once at a big show.
