Hi all,
I’m a first time buyer, I’ve previously ridden for 12 years and also part loaned.
I purchased my now TB mare 6 years old the end of last month.
Needless to say, she is acting completely different in my care to how she was when I viewed her.
I saw her owner mount her and ride no issues. I mounted from the floor and rode with no issues. Would pick her feet up no problem to be picked out.
I have now ridden her twice, both times she has threw me off by no fault of my own. I mounted her, she bronked and I fell onto concrete taking all the pressure on my back. She kick out her back feet when trying to pick them out, she also bronks / rears when being lunged.
She also reversed and bucked and I ended up again falling on my back. I’ve changed her bit, checked her saddle no issues at all.
I’m in Absolute shock at how she is because she was not like this on the videos and when I went to view her.
I really do not know what to do, I’ve approached the seller about this and she’s said she’s never been unseated by her and no issues at all. ( I find it hard to believe that she’s all of a sudden acting like this)
does anyone have any advice on what I can do???
