In Glendive, Montana, a horse named Cash expressed his feelings towards a training dummy by sassily kicking it after it fell off his back. Cash, a 2-year-old gelding, was being trained to carry a rider, and the dummy was used as a desensitization tool to simulate the weight of a rider on his back. This incident was captured on video by Deven Schroeber, who was preparing Cash for riding.
According to Schroeber, this was Cash’s second session with the training dummy, and it was clear that the horse had strong feelings about it. The video shows Cash kicking the dummy in a sassy manner, indicating his displeasure with the training tool. Schroeber had been working on training and preparing Cash for carrying a rider, and the dummy was meant to help with this process.

Despite Cash’s reaction, Schroeber continued to work with him to prepare him for carrying a rider, using various desensitization techniques to help him adjust. The incident served as a humorous moment in the training process, highlighting the unique personalities of horses and their reactions to different training methods.
