[QUOTE="Jay, post: 19244, member: 41"] Ellie- Your mare's 'attitude' is a blatent sign of disrespect to you. When a horse wheels around & shows you it's butt--it is saying "I'm the boss & you aren't gonna mess with me". She must be a 'lead mare' they are the hardest to break of this. Go to Marv M. Walkers' website--his 'herd dynamics' will explain it to ya better than I can. Remember--horses are herd animals & there is a pecking order. You have to show her YOU are the lead horse when you are around--BAR NONE. Oh how many times I wished *I* could pin my ears back to let them know that I dissaproved of certain behaviors!! Be careful--right now she is just threatining (warning) you; but I have been on the recieving end of an angry horse (in my younger stupid years) and they can kick awfully hard & getting bit isn't any nicer. Your mare will take alot of time & patience for 2 reasons. She is older (more set in her ways) and she has been abused. She has obviously figured out how to get around doing anything she doesn't want to do. Be firm & don't back down. She will figure out in time you don't mean to hurt/abuse her & it'd make HER life easier if she just go along & do what you ask. Like I said, be careful & watch out; if she feels like attacking you; she'll do it when you least expect it! (That's what happened to me) Go to that website & trust me--you'll learn some new and simple twists on horses. [/QUOTE]
