[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2997"] Hi! WOW! What breed is the mare? At 5, she should be settled down by now. Watch her carefully...when she turns her butt to you and lays ears back, anything (kick) might happen. Sounds like she would be a real problem on a trail ride or whatever around other horses/riders???? You have right idea on breeding her to a very docile stallion--can possibly expect up to 50% of his temperament passed to a foal. If you don't already read it, check our John Lyon's monthly newsletter (very informative) and "The Perfect Horse" (his trademark publication, advice, concept). In halter, can try "bending" her to you while gently pushing her hindquarters away from you/the bend. Teach her to respect your space, that you're Alpha and that putting her butt in your face is not acceptable. P.S. John Lyons also has some excellent videos on managing, training, etc., as well as books. As I'm sure you know, ears back are a definite "warning". Head down and/or bent, weight off one rear foot and ears upright or one directed to you is body language that the horse is listening, willing, and/or waiting for an instruction from you. [/QUOTE]
