Dear Keith...
Thursday, October 18, 2007
I am having problems with my 7 yr old mare and hope you can help. I mostly rid e on the road or on trails, either one whether when riding alone or with other horses, she likes to wander from one side of the road to the other. I'v been correcting her so much shes starting to ignore my comands, but on the way back home she's a little better but still wanders some. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Melissa |
