Dear Keith...
Tuesday, August 7, 2007
Hi, I have a horse her name is Molly, she has a really bad habit of throwing her head and there is times I cannot get her to stop when I say ho or pull on the reins especially when she is running. What can I do to get her to stop throwing her head and when I say ho and she will stop when I tell her to. Please help! Other thatn that she is a pretty good horse. She is about 7 or 8 years old well that is what i was told anyway. I don't really know how to tell.
Thanks,
Carla B |
