I tried her with a whip and if I so much as touch her with is she canters off or whips round! ha! But I'm trying to do some desensitising with it and still carrying it even if i don't use it! I would imagine as she shows a lot of the symptoms ... girthie, doesn't like to be touched on her...

Hey guys!
here's my intro.... Ive been a lover of all things horsey for years now! I've been mainly showjumping recently but did love a bit of everything on my 17hh, 17year old grey ex racer. Fun rides, jumping, dressage and ODE's. Unfortunately I recently found out he has to be retired...
