[QUOTE="dewey, post: 331099, member: 5710"] just my two cents on this. i wouldnt put a kid or unexperienced rider on any horse that i didnt know much about. it doesnt matter how they act while being grommed etc. i like to see the person i am getting the horse from step on on it and show me what it can do. if that is not possible i will try the horse myself and ride it for a week or more before putting someone else on it. just from reading what you posted here, it sounds to me like the mare is spoiled. she has picked up some bad habits from unexperienced riders. she may be one that only and experienced rider can handle. there is several reasons that could cause one that is not spoiled not to wanna step off. could be the rider is holding the reins to tight. sometimes other problems head shaking,not stopping right or turnin right etc comes from rideing one with a bit they are not used to be rode with. the kicking of the hind leg and backing up here sounds like to me she is just agrevated and doesnt want to step off. going back to the spoiled part. i would recommend as others said let someone that knows about horse ride her for awhile. goodluck with her.
