Stand or Run?

So As usual I tacked up Acacia and we went through our normal routine of round penning then into the main arena for her to run around for a few minutes. So when she was done I took her over to the step stool and went to mount. And she wouldn't stand still. So she kept moving to the left away from me so I ask her to stand, I spin her around to the left and finally I had had enough. If she didn't want to stand then damn it she was going to RUN! So I chased her off for a few minutes and when I brought her back she still wouldn't stand she had to run some more!Finally she was pretty darn tired, I ask her to stand and was able to mount so we could begin our ride. LOL! Silly pony! The sooner I get on the sooner I get off!

    Make what's right easy and what's wrong hard; some famous trainer said that but I don't remember who it was ( maybe Ray Hunt?)This is my classrom teaching philosophy as well.

    Make the right decision, and all good things follow.
    Animals get "either/or".

    Just like a kid, when you figure out they're perfect they figure out a perfect way to mess with ya! I actually like a horse that will push the envelope to see what will happen. Great training opportunity, and gets it solved. Hopefully without a crowd watching...!
