For nervous, read was sent to a dealer and owner thinks had several shades of s**t beaten out of her.
Backed before and ridden by a child but has got herself so scared that shes had to start again.
So owner has been lunging her etc, and I did the same today, jumped up by the side of her, lent over put foot in stirrup and stood up against her side, lifted leg, must have brushed her back and she had a little bit of a break down.
She settled immediately after and let me stand in my stirrup next to her again, but somehow we need to desensitive her to a leg going over her back.
Is this just a case of doing it an awful lot to try and get her over her past memories?
