Not our own, but plenty of "problem" horses were provided by local or regional people and were literally fixed on the spot (but now the owners have to follow through!). There was a (formerly) really good reining horse who turned into a bucking horse, one that wouldn't load in the trailer, a terriffic, very well-trained roping horse that went bananas when he heard music and/or applause in arenas, etc. It was amazing.<br />

Were you at the ISCA National Specialty in San Diego? We did a hands-on bird introduction for IS and to keep the waiters occupied, Delmar Smith spent about three hours taking problem dogs in hand - won't lead, shy, too boisterous, etc. - and brought them around on the spot. These two men have the best "hands" I've ever seen. And for me to say that someone is as good as Delmar is going some!!!!<br />

The cost was only $12.50 and it was two days of very interesting stuff! If you get a chance to go to something similar, do so - there's a lot to training horses that is very similar to training dogs!<br />
