I haven't posted in a long time, but in reading some of the other posts here, I see that I'm not the only one in some of these situations! Nemo is not under saddle yet - he's just not one of those horses that can be "done" in 100 days. He's come along great, but not there yet. It's easy to start feeling over-confident with him, as some days he's absolutely wonderful with everything, then the next day it's like he's forgotten everything. I trailered him with my mares to drill team practice the other night - his first real night out - and got kicked trying to get him out of the trailer. My fault, but reminds me just how far he has to go.

We've worked on a lot of things, but our biggest problem is and has been those back feet! He will actually hand me his front feet if I just touch his leg, and I can pick up the back feet without him jerking them away, but any time the fear returns those back feet start kicking. I thought we had that under control, but obviously not...

I will be going to FW and do the best I can. He's still a wonderful horse - he just needs time.....
