Sorry , prepare for a long one......
We have been offered a games pony for my daughter which would be the next step up. This mare is 18 and is well known. She is pretty good to ride and goes well at games and competitions BUT she is a bitch to handle. she will bite humans if possible and when loose in the field will also kick you when you try and catch her. If you go to touch her she pins her ears back and will bite if you persist. Once you get hold of her she submits straight away and is as good as gold. She is great with other horses and will take passes at speed etc.
I saw one of the other games parents approach her the other day and she was fine and seemed to like her which then made me wonder wether we could change her. All our ponies are pets aswell and we love them to bits so I would find it hard to not have any affection for her. Do you thing that Kelly Marks or Richard Maxwell might be able to help us get through to her ?
I would be interested to hear what you think and any experience of a horse like this ?
