[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 587896, member: 5559"] Definantly herdbound..also add into the mix the fact she hasnt been ridden and schooled recently(you mnetioned she had been a recep mare)..just adds your problems. She is testing you..she started with the biting at tacking up time..then progresses to kicking at tacking up and now shes "threatening" to buck with you. Nip this in the bud. You are going to have to take an active approach to this. Sit and wait IMO, wont work. She goes to bite, smack her good and hard in the muzzle..once, dont make a huge deal about it..you can verbalize too(no, Nah..we use Fooie, like our dogs)..and then go back to what youre doing. correct quickly and then forget it. For the head bobbing and trying to buck, push her FORWARD...Ask her to walk, she starts that crap, dig you heels into her and get her moving forward. Without forward motion, youve lost and shes won. :( If you feel like shes going to act nasty and buck or crowhop, pull her head around(keeping the forward motion) and keep her like that til you feel like shes gotten the bucking idea out of her head. I am all for being fair to a horse, but she needs to understand that YOU are the herd boss and what you say needs to be done. If you can seperate the jenny and her..ehhh, might help, but if you cant, you CAN get this mare by this..just be firm and be pro active in your approach to her. Im not one to accomodate a horse, regards to seperating them..similar to saying I can tie my horse because he pulls back :?: Im about fixing the problem. :) Sarah [/QUOTE]
