***Joining Up***
Hello and Welcome to Winning Trust Horse Farm for hurt or abused or what people call "Problem Horses" to come and have the mental scars and hurts of the past removed, to help them learn to trust again and to find new owners to love and care for them

Marian: *slowly, Moons bucks decrease and loose power. Then, with one last huge buck, He stops. I walk up to him and pet him* Now Gemma, I think you said you wanted to ride him? Try him now. I doubt he'll buck. And make sure to keep your commands clear. Any confusion and he'll do it again.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Gemma: *I nod, then swing onto Moon, he leaps into the air, all four legs off the ground and he takes off galloping and bucking, at one point I'm sliding forward because of the English Saddle* This is the reason I don't ride Broncs in English Saddles! *I sit until he stops bucking, I gently squeeze my legs and he takes off bucking again, when he stops I squeeze again and he starts galloping around, I slow him to a walk and we make I lap, I leap off and pat his neck* Good boy!

Parelli, It was a western saddle. And in theory, Moon shouldn't really have bucked. Marian: You weren't firm enough and your commands weren't clear.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Gemma: Excuse me? My commands were perfectly clear. And I was plenty firm. *I glare at Marian, then I swing back on Moon, I make a big show of making clear comands and being firm*	ParelliChick & Lady of the Mist

Marian: *I mount up on Moon and in a clean, clear decisive motion I tell him to move forward. He acts relieved and start off at a nice clip. We trot around the arena once before I slip off and pet him gently. Then I untack, give him a good grooming and a mint and let him back out to pasture.* Okay, I need to go pick up Duke now at Alkadale Horse Farm. We're going to be working with him soon. Who wants to come? Julie: Okay Becky. Lead Squint into the round pen and let her go. Then Be agressive. Look her in the eye. Square your shoulders to her. raise your hands and spread you fingers and if she still doesn't move flick the lead at her.	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising

Marian: Gemma, I don't mean they weren't clear to me. I mean that Moon did not regard them as clear. *I say it firmly, yet not as if I am superior.*	Maid Mairain & Dawn Rising
