My horse is an idiot... This is nothing new she ain't the brightest at the best of times but she has taken to dancing out of her stable - just a bit of high spirits but rather than stepping down the 8 inch step from her stable (the floors are raised so the stables don't flood) she kind of jumps down ... And about 2 out of 3 times she falls over as her feet slip on the concrete - to the point I've started putting knee boots on her to get her out of the stable . She doesn't fall at any other time and none of my other horses slip like this. It's not icy .. And I'm working on the jumping thing but this is difficult cos she does it from a halt and doesn't try and pull away or anything it's just her way of 'getting down' (any ideas on stopping this would also be appreciated) but is there any thing I can do to make her feet more grippy so she doesn't end up damaging herself? Ideas gratefully received.
