Flicka

Okay, about Flicka. Flicka is a filly we got when she was six months old. At the time we were probably only nine. Well, we trained her with no idea what we were doing. She is pretty much child proof. We would climb all over her. As far as I remember we never had an trouble saddling her, and she never bucked until she was almost four.

Flicka was the kind of horse that you could sit on bareback and no bridle in the pasture. She was also bossy and lazy. We did a lot of desensitizing when she was little and not enough sensitizing. It was very hard to get her to do anything, and she likes to get her own way. She was sold to Terry's brother when she was about four, and she is now very fat.
