[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 36549"] Lots of good suggestions here, assuming your not kicking her or pulling on the reins when you get on, she may need more ground work. I wouldn't tie her to mount or hobble her, sounds dangerous... seen a few horses flip over with hobbles you have to train a horse to hobble. you might try using a halter and lead rope, saddle you mare and just put your foot in the stirrup, if she moves off then back her up a few feet by shaken the lead rope hard and fast (not jerking down on her nose) and walking into her telling her "back" then whoa her, tell her "whoa", tell her whoa again before you put you foot in the stirrup. She she needs to understand and respect the word whoa. Horses hate to back. This may take a while but I bet you see a change in a couple of days, just sounds like bad manners. I never beat a horse but it's basic in all my training, good things happen when it's done right and it's uncomfortable when things are done wrong... uncomfortable not painful, painful comes when there's biting, kicking, running over or striking. Alan Reminds me of a joke; two horse together, one says my name is Charlie what's yours...Whoa dammit! [/QUOTE]
