Dear Keith...
Wednesday, January 11, 2006
Hi,
My 4 year old BLM mare and I are having problems! She will not lope or run for that matter when I ask her to. She also will not sit still while mounting, and when we are riding with other horses, she kicks at them. She has already hurt one 18 year old friend of mine when we were at a parade. She was meaning to kick her horse Spirit (also a Mustang gelding) and she missed the horse and kicked the gals anckle instead. What can I do to better these problems, or is there anyway you might be able to help me?? I am at my witts end, however I love my Rosey and well I could not see my life without her. If you are wondering who trained her in the first place I did. I am
23 years old and this was my first horse of my own, so I am still learning as much as she is. Even though I had ridden trained horses all my life.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
