[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 800598, member: 2653"] She sounds like a lot of Arabians I've handled: VERY athletic, great balance, headstrong, but not a "bad" horse. As much as I don't like to criticize a trainer, IMO, you need a trainer smarter than the horse. Sometimes you have to evaluate/change your techniques when required (I'm talking about the trainer). This girl is obviuosly not like most other horses, so why treat her that way? I've ran horses in the round pen to wear them out, but never even close to that time. No more than 30 minutes or so, and then when I do it, I'm constantly changing the horses direction and moving them to let them know who's in control. I'm no professional trainer, but what this trainer's done seems more like punishment for a horse that doesn't really deserve (or probably understand) it. I'd keep her. Horses like this tend to be very loyal; you might have the next horse to last you 10 or more years in front of you. [/QUOTE]
