"She ran away when another pasture horse decided to bolt"

Dear Keith...
Saturday, September 9, 2006
My horse suddenly started to runaway after I saddle her up. She is a 4 yr old Fresian/Clydedale mare, on 1 qt feed twice/day. She started this one month ago and raced around the pasture and trails. She ended up injuring herself (laminitis) and has been stall restricted for 4 wks. I took her out to graze today, with a shank, and she ran away when another pasture horse decided to bolt. How can I control this? She never did this before.
I had a John Lyons trainer work with her for 1 yr prior to all this.

Suggested Article: "Good Now Bad Later"
Every time you teach an exercise, your horse will go through the same learning cycle. He'll go from "Bad" to "Good" to "Worse" to "Not So Bad" to "Learned." That's the typical cycle: Bad. Good. Worse. Not so bad. Learned.

Suggested Article: "Give Your Horse A Want-To Attitude"
I treat the horse the same way. If I ask him to standstill, that's cleaning his room. I say "Clean your room." He says "No." I say "Fine." Now, what can I do that requires movement? It doesn't matter if I'm in the arena or the trail. In...
