[QUOTE="chippie, post: 588098, member: 5644"] Well it is not the donkey's fault. The horse was probably that way when you bought her. A new horse goes through a "honeymoon" period where everything is hunky dory. Then as the horse becomes familiar with it's new surroundings and feels confident or safe in them, the true nature of the horse appears. There may have been a reason that she was used as a recipient mare and not a riding horse. [img]http://images.boardhost.com/emoticons/wink.gif[/img] I would suggest getting rid of the broken mouthpiece bit (tom thumb) and try her with a low port curb grazing bit. Some horses do not tolerate a tom thumb or broken mouth shank bit. [url=http://www.todayshorse.com/Articles/TroublewithTomThumb.htm]http://www.todayshorse.com/Articles/Tro ... mThumb.htm[/url] To have respect, you must have discipline, so don't feel bad if you have to whack her one when she threatens or misbehaves. You won't hurt her and you won't stop her from liking you. You are only doing what another horse would do to her should she try to hurt it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
