Dear Keith...
Friday, February 9, 2007
I have two questions really, 1. is there any way to curb a "bossy" mare? and 2. she is difficult to catch - once you have a rope on her she's calm and fine, and under the saddle she's no problem at all. But she just won't let you walk up to her and pet her or catch her. ? We haven't had her very long, only about 6 months. thank you! Char |
