That's so weird that Steele doesn't care and he been exposed to fewer horses than Irish lol! Hopefully Chrome will realize it's no big deal someday. My pasture isn't by a road anymore so he can't see them ride by. Also there is a stallion nearby who neighs all the time and stirs him up. Anyway thanks for the info!!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-41990155501208774922014-10-20T08:02:21.684-03:002014-10-20T08:02:21.684-03:00Steele was raised with a small 'herd' of h...Steele was raised with a small 'herd' of horses while a baby. When he was weaned he was moved to another stable (with his mama) where there were many other horses. Here, of course, it's just Irish but we have horses walking by. Irish, who's always been around lots of horses, loses his mind when they go by. Steele is 'meh'. Can you take Chrome to where he can see the horses and then make him do ground work that forces him to focus on you? that would help.TeresaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311118900077951863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-7999952381176852162014-10-19T23:59:15.888-03:002014-10-19T23:59:15.888-03:00There are many things that go into making a nice h...There are many things that go into making a nice horse and Steele has gotten the best base possible. The "lucky" part for you is that he also has a wonderful temperment (the part that so many people don't think about when breeding -- so part breeding, part luck). Thanks for your comment on Jackson. It's dead right. Duh. Its much better for him to be on the lean side with his feet issues. I'm going to stop stressing about it.

He was with the filly for a while, had a gelding neighbor directly across the fence, was with Faran for a couple of years and has had the donkey with him a long time, but that's pretty much it. Oh and from birth to five months he was with a bunch of horses. He gets soooo excited around other horses... Is Steele like that? Or do you have neighbors with horses? Or has he been exposed to more than Chrome? I can't figure out if Chrome's reactions are normal or if he's a sheltered lunatic lol. Thanks for any perspective!!!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.com
