[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 699889, member: 539"] I disagree with this statement. Quite a number of years ago we purchased a mare that had been severely(sp?) abused - barbed wire for a bit, ran vertically up and down canal banks, other stuff that I have since forgotten. Let's just say that my first experience riding her was very, very interesting! However, with a little bit of patience, a firm hand on the reins, and a lot of riding and talking to her in moments that she was uncertain and wanted to regress to previous training, she overcame her previous training and went on to become one of our most reliable mares. If one really - and I do mean really - pays attention to his/her horse, they know what the behaviour of the horse is when he/she is at rest, and the triggers usually make themselves known. They tend to be fairly obvious in the tilt of the ears, the way the head is held, the tension, nervousness, agitation, etc., of the horse. [/QUOTE]
