[haflingerfriends] Re: Training (Luke)

Well the vet is coming out again tomorrow to check on a horse so im gonna have him looked at again, but its just simple tasks that I ask of him, that he will blow up over. Its transferred over into ground manners and such. He just literally doesnt want to work and his stubborn/lazy attitude doesnt help out with it either lol. He has always had a stubborn/lazy attitude in him but now its just he doesnt want to do anything other than go from his pasture to the stall and stall to the pasture. Its like hes a completely different horse. Im just wondering if maybe he had too much of the "good life" and wants to go back to it. Most of the other horses at the current facility I am at, are either broodmares or their owners no longer ride him. The only horses I work with, sometimes are tied to the wall in the indoor so while im working one, i can have another cool out and the rest are simply there to gain more patience at standing while tied. He rarely has another horse worked with him and when he is done with his work out, he goes to the stallion aisle to cool out as he "thinks hes a stud" and I mainly work with mares (with a few geldings).

> He got kicked in the left eye and received a blood clot and a small tear. It healed up after 3months of stall rest and strict exercise. That was in 2008 in November. I showed him all throughout 2009 with no problems whatsoever and havent had much of a problem from it.
> Now the fall was about a month and a half ago. He just started working again about 2weeks ago. The vet (who is also the chiropractor) cleared him for a good bill of health. He hasnt shown any signs of pain, restricted/off movement or nothing. The vet checked his eyes and have actually said that it has healed a little bit from it (he was 80% blind in he left eye and now is about 76% blind). He wont probably ever recover all of it.
