I couldn't imagine that... mine are out 24/7 all year round because I don't have a stall to put them in, so even when the weather is bad they are out. Luckily I'm in the south so our winter, although bad, wasn't nearly as bad as yours! Thank goodness! I don't know how you guys live up there in the winter lol. I know the arena is getting boring, but I'm glad you have one! There would be so many times you wouldn't be able to ride without it. I wish I had one. I would probably ride more in the winter if I did.<br /><br />I really need to work on standing still and the mounting block with Chrome. Most of the time he does great, but sometimes he's impatient and wants to walk off. I can't really blame him though since I haven't worked on it in ages!<br /><br />Sorry you haven't been able to get the leads. I wish I could help, but I have no idea how. I hope you can figure it out!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-46141036315563112172014-02-28T12:23:57.717-08:002014-02-28T12:23:57.717-08:00Yes, clicker is marvelous for mounting.

I clicked him so much for it that he expects to be clicked--so in a way--it backfired--but not really--Since most of the time when I am mounting, I am on the trail which is loaded with distractions. He refuses to move unless he gets clicked. I know that if a loud truck goes by, horses come galloping around the corner or a tree branch falls while I am mounting, he is unlikely to move until he gets clicks.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583155977253441105.post-20426675872651216292014-02-28T12:07:30.777-08:002014-02-28T12:07:30.777-08:00The weather this year has just been awful.

Huge windstorms, rain, snow.. ugh.<br /><br />That is great that the clicker helped with the mounting block! My mare went through a phase where she refused to stand at the mounting block. I brought out the clicker and haven't had any big issues since! I actually don't even need the clicker for getting on anymore, but I still do sometimes give her a click and a treat for being patient.Hannahhttp://chroniclesofamoodymare.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
