- GoLightly
- This Blog is dedicated to, and could really be blamed entirely on, GoLightly, the Irish Sport Horse SchoolMaster highlight of my riding life. I had ridden my own and other peoples horses, (usually getting the ride on the difficult/ challenging/no-one else was crazy enough to ride them horses:) I especially enjoyed starting beginner riders of all ages. I taught people to ride for many years. GoLightly taught me more in one year, than I had learned in 18 years of riding. I'm good with animals, not so much with people. My interests are in animal welfare and training methods of all animals.

Well you could look at that and laugh, I guess, but I would not , that colt is gonna be rope burned ass to ears at that rate, and I am betting will not love "snakes" , long grass ,ropes , garden hoses etc that he encounters in future. Rule of thumb for me when working with youngsters is "never let them feel trapped, holding hard and fast while he winds up in that rope is going to escalate him ,not calm him down, keep moving with him with some pressure but always give him the sense he is not trapped and if you have to stop or drop the rope to give him a release , he is in a round pen ffs! where is he going to go??? Push me in a corner I will come out fighting, horses are often the same
