i had this issue with my mare, dont be bullied by him if he charges at you ears pinned back chase him off make yourself look as big as possible. Granted i know this is easier said than done when catching though try let him come upto you instead of you walking right on upto him maybe even...

Hi guys, id like to let you's all know my girls back to her old self again. Both myself and my more experianced horse friends did consider pain to begin with which is why it was ruled out although i do appriciate everyones thought and opinions as i have learned a few things! i did...

Pain has been eliminated... ive been trying to let her come over but its like the moment she clocks anyone anywhere near her shes pinning her ears back and lunging at then or thrying to spin and kick out. I did try taking treats with me and leaving the head collar behind but no joy as of...

Already considered pain as the cause and had everything checked over... so its not pain causing it Like i say its dominant behaviour shes treating me like one of the herd I was looking for advise on helping resolve the issue as in tips on how to approach her ect

Looks like you should be fine :) i'd maybe consider a loan or LWVTB before rushing in though just to give you the better idea of actually owning a horse and having the commitment. xx

Some people just dont like mares full stop everyones entitled to be a little PMT from time to time and chances are she will calm down a bit after her first few are done with. If she isnt being violent towards other horses or you then she isnt really a problem and shes not really being "mareish"...

Been having some problems with my mare recently it seems like we fix one problen and another on appears... it started with napping and threatening to rear while riding then moved to biting when tacking up (she sometines nips when in season being girthed) next it was biting in the stable last...

Maybe consider a loan instead of rushing out to buy a horse to take with you. Or you could always look for a part share at the yard you're planning on going to. Alot of owners are happy for that bit of a helping hand and really dont tend to ask for much in return just contribution to their keep :)

I've been riding in a wintec GP saddle the past few years as when i got my horse it was all i could really afford at the time. Now i have a bit of spare money im wanting to get a new one (not synthetic) i always wanted a Bates but i was just wondering what everyones opinions were and which...
