Youngster has turned into a maniac

[Suziq77]

She is as strong as an ox. She has boundless energy and at the moment it is her way or no way.
Well you know what they say" god loves a trier" so we will continue with the battle.

I've been there! It does get easier and now I can hardly remember those days but gosh it was hard work. I wouldn't swap my super star mare for anything now though

Feed hay only and then walking exercise and more walking and walking and then a bit more walking .
Then a bit of schooling, long reining , do pole work if you have cones build exercises using them in the school to keep interest and make things different .
I would work twice a day if there's no turnout and walk out in hand to keep her day busy .
Very time consuming having a horse of this age with no turn out .

poor horse not having any outlet to let out any energy and then getting told off/mixed messages when being ridden. Personally I've move her to winter turnout and let her be a young horse-it will make a much nicer horse in the end who doesn't learn multiple bad habits.
