Warming, with Sleet and Heavy Icing| Wings Of Glory |
| Yeah that's my plan I'm gonna be out tomorrow so I'm gonna chat with her about it because every lesson so far has been pretty challenging with these horses that are more hot than I'm comfortable with right now. I would have felt more safe today putting a first ride on my colt lol |
| Savannah Stables |
| if a student told me they had grown up around horses I would probably also think they were pretty experienced and able to handle a bit of a more challenging horse, definitely like have a chat with her and be very clear that you're a nervous rider (I read your forum post) and that you really just want to have fun and get comfortable in the saddle again. |
| Wings Of Glory |
| Dusty I think that's a huge part of it I'm not very good at communicating some times so I'm going to sit down and talk to her next time. I remember talking to her about growing up with horses and to be honest maybe she thinks I'm more experienced than I am. |
| Lucky Ranch |
| yeah its a real shocker the horse whos headshy hard to catch and girthy also bucked... |
| Wings Of Glory |
| I'm pretty sure they also didn't expect her to act like that today and that's probably some of the disappointment my trainer had but next lesson I'm riding the chill guy gelding who all the kids ride. |
| Glacier Bay Cove |
| Trying to figure out whether I will be able to afford any embryos during the February or March Roll overs |
| Savannah Stables |
| Even if it is just her needing injections, that doesnt sound like the kind of horse you would want to put someone who really needs confidence on. Maybe there's a miscommunication between you and your trainer about what you're trying to accomplish? |
| Lucky Ranch |
| typically id say just spank and then move on and ask again but this sounds way more like pain |
| Wings Of Glory |
| I'm not sure because last lesson she was totally fine but she does also get injections so maybe just in need of those and she's sore? She is a high level show mare and does good with the right rider but I think she can also see through me a bit because i don't have confidence she knows she can push me around a bit. She's also the bully mare out in the pasture so it's probably a combination of a bunch of stuff |
| Savannah Stables |
| I agree with lucky, all the "misbehaviors" you said she does sound like pain issues, especially combined with her trying to buck off the trainer too. Would it be possible for you to take lessons at another barn? I'd be wary of doing any lessons at a barn that would let a horse like that in their lesson program |
| Lucky Ranch |
| this sounds less like a mare thing and more like shes in a lot of pain and incompetent trainers |
| Wings Of Glory |
| I take a lesson once a week and this was my 4th lesson. Next lesson I'm going with one of the chill geldings and just having a chill ride |
| Minerva |
| Time for bed now lol. I realised about an hour ago that I had about 200 unbred mares to mop up still |
| Wings Of Glory |
| Dusty I've ridden this mare including today twice but I've been taking lessons for a month I board there as well I've been there for a year |
| Silver Stirrup |
| Anyone know of a stud/straw that would match her -HEE Click- Does he work? - -HEE Click- |
