Hey don't judge a barn by it's balls!!!! LOL! It could just mean that they have playful younger geldings!! My first thoroughbred William and his pasture mates Induli SW, HersheySW and Martini DW were ferocious ball hunters and killers!!!LOL! It kinda got expensive and beach balls nevr had a chance! Martini killed the neighbor's rooster once ,...it was pretty awful !!! Geldings and younger studs just seem to play more, mares not so much! I don't have a problem with Parelli or Anderson. I just think that the majority of people that flock to their clinics are basically afraid of their horses to begin with. Unfortunately for them the horse knows it, and takes advantage of it. I've never had a problem establishing who the head of the herd was A horse innately knows that it can lead or follow and if you aren't capable of making that choice they will! Chrome and I had a "Jesus come to meeting " moment last spring while working on canter transitions. he decide that it would be more fun if he threw a running buck. After a quick discussion over who was actually in charge, he decided that I was correct, and we should just stick to the transitions and leave the rodeo stunts back at the ranch!! LOL!
