I recently purchased sunny about 3 weeks ago... at that time she had 45 days in the saddle. We got along fine, as she would come to me when I went out to her pen. She rode well (still learning to neck rein). The last two times she is being a butt. She dances when I try to mount her. She tries to take my leg off with the fence. When she realizes she can't do it, she gives a little buck and swings around to try for the other leg. I have no control and she goes right back to the fence. The previous owner used spurs, which I do not. What can I do to fix this problem? IP: Logged |

Just keep with her..shes acting like a young child trying to test you and trying to get away with anything she can..if you have mountains close by or a way to wear her out ride the snot out of her..make her tired..and dont skip a day of riding if you can help it..even if you can only ride for 20 min. dont skip.Thats a big mistake most ppl make when they send a young horse to a trainer ..they bring them home and ride them a few times put them out to pasture and dont ride for a few weeks or months then go to ride and their horse acts like it hasnt had any training...big mistake...bring them home and ride them on a constant basis...if you do this and you dont let her get away with this crap shes pulling she will get over it and be great . Maybe try using an over and under rope or a bat and spank her butt when she decides to be obstanant.(sp)..urgh..lol...if you do have to resort to spurs..try using a barrel racing spur they just have a nub at the end..wont make them dull sided...goodluck!! and keep with her once she figures you arnt gonna put up with it she will give it up..most do anyway!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

What's an up and over rope? The first week I got her I didn't ride her. I would work with her and let her get used to me and a different saddle. Once I started riding her she was great. Until we extended her pen. I rode her everyday up to that time. By the time I got off work and we built pen it was to dark to ride. But I climbed on her the next day and that is when all hell broke loose. I was brushing her mane and she totally freaked out on me. She acts like she is scared to death...even her shadow spooks her.... Is this another mind game? IP: Logged |

Someone or something has spooked the horse if she is acting scared or if she is spooked when you goto groom her.. Never use spurs i do not believe in them and can actually scar the horses sides. Never use a bat to smack her butt when she plays up.. If when you have mounted and she starts to buck keeping one hand on the reins use the other hand lean back and use ur hand to press on her butt this will stop her from bucking. your her ne owner she is trying to test your patience and to see if you will give in.. Ride her everyday even in the dark but make sure you have reflective clothing on u and your horse so you can be seen.. Do not work her to the extent of exhaustion but enough exercise to keep her happy.. Horse like nothing more to be able to run and play, you could place jumps or trotting poles in the pasture to keep her occupied when your not there... please keep us posted of her progress.
