Dear Keith...
Monday, March 12, 2007
Hi, just wanted some help in what videos I need, I have a 4 yr old cutting mare, I want to make her a versatility horse, she is very calm under saddle but is very scared and nervous about everything on the ground, you have to sedate her to do anything, she had never been ridden outside an arena, and that is quite an experience, but she is truly scared and flight is the first reaction.
Thanks |
