IsItFridayYet?
I'm doing a shooting demo in a week. I'm a beginning shooter, and they needed some poor schmuck to demo the beginners for a horse council thingy...
Anyway...it lead to husband and I sitting here tonight talking about it.
I have been debating how to get my horse to the level I'd like him at...to try to do it on my own, or send him to a trainer. The problem with doing it myself is the time factor. Sending him to a trainer is the money factor.
So husband offered to work on my horse.
Ok, from one perspective, great. Very nice of him to offer....
But from the others...why is he going to have all this time to commit and I won't?
He also has a little trouble training an animal without corporal punishment...in 7 years, he still can't even catch my horse without cornering it because my horse is afraid...
And then there's the factor we ran into before that what he wants from a horse and what I want aren't the same...and he has a little trouble training to someone else's (my) objective...
I'm not even sure how to respond...
