[QUOTE="Alan, post: 148231, member: 378"] I think I usally train with the natural horsemanship techniques in mind... but not for this. I would forget the riding part until you teach this mare some manners, and as already stated, what the pecking order is, you on the top of the pecking order. If you have a round pen I would use that, if not a lounge line will work. First off, the next time she runs at you smack her across the nose (hard) with the whip or whatever. She may hurt you if she can. Then if your in the run pen, push her hard walking at her back end from the middle of the pen, forcing her to move to the outside of the ring (don't get so close you may get kicked). If she is that lazy and stuborn she will probably get tired soon so don't over do it. And don't push her so hard she goes over the rail or through it. Watch for her to start licking a chewing as she is moving, that's the sign that she's telling you that you are in charge (for now). It may take a few days to do this so she respects you. Then you will probably have an easier time under saddle. Good Luck, Alan [/QUOTE]
