[QUOTE="b&langusfarms, post: 587650, member: 6533"] I purchased a 12 yrd old Sorrell QH mare 3 weeks ago. I rode her on two seperate days at the home with which I bought her from, and she rode fine. She was a little lazy... She had been a recipent mare for a vet for a few years and I knew it would take a little while for her to get into the swing of things. I onkly bought her to ride around my 30 acres and round up cows every now and again. Basically for pleasure.... I rode as a child but not in years... I currently have a 5 yrd old jenny in with my cows. This is where I allowed my new horse to pasture. The first week she was still ok, just lazy to do much without alot of begging.. :D The last 2 weeks she is glued to my jennies side they are always together. When I tighten her cinch now (which I do very slowly) she attempts to bite. Today when I tightened she made a very small kick movement with her back hoof. Once on her she will walk for awhile but then she only wants to go back to my jenny. When I let her know we arent going there she very slightly bucks, sometimes she just lays her ears back and bobs her head. I have read alot about what to do and I am trying to sit and wait her out and not let her go anyway but straight but she still will just stand there. If I make my kiss sound to go or squeeze with my legs, the ears go back , head bobs and if I do it again she will buck a little. I have a new cinch, blanket, have had her feet trimmed, saddle is on properly... Please help I am at my wits ends... :?: :?: :?: Forgot to mention, I took her to the vet also for a prepurchase exam and her teeth were good. The bit I am using is twisted copper on the mouth piece and I am not sure but I believe it is a Tom Thumb or very similar. [/QUOTE]
