			<description>A visitor to the website wrote to me with this comment and question:

 

I just want to say that an hour ago i was completly overwhelmed with my

 horse buddy. Your words have given me hope. I have so many questions.

First, what would cause a horse that had trust and respect for the

 rider (me) to lose it (the trust) overnight when nothing of note happened?



She had been attacked by a dog in my presence (long story) six weeks ago, but once i got the damn dog out and calmed her down, she  ...</description>

			<description>A horse owner contacted me today with the following question:  

     &quot;I have a 19 year old quarter horse who has bad ground manners and if you ride her without another horse she spins and throws her head all over the place is there any help for me and her&quot;?

 

Here was my response:

 Sorry your horse is being difficult, but it's fixable.  This is a perfect situation to solve on the ground where you can be safe.  It would be too easy for your horse to spin around and knock you  ...</description>

			<description>A horse owner contacted me today with this question. I thought I would share it with everyone, since it's a very common issue:

 

Q:  When asked to go somewhere he does not wish to go my horse throws his head up and down and refuses to move in the desired direction.  What is the best way to deal with this behavior?

 

A:  Sorry you are having a problem with your horse, so I hope I can help you with some advice.From the perspective of equine behavior and pyschology, I want you to think  ...</description>

			<title>Pulling at the mouth....Hackamore?</title>
			<link>http://discussionboard.forumotion.com/training-f1/pulling-at-the-mouthhackamore-t2.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>sdcfish</dc:creator>
			<description>Hey there!

 

I am leasing a 4 1/2 old gelding warmblood.  He gets two dressage lessons per week, and I take him on the trails with western bridle (same bit as english ) and western saddle two days per week.

 

The trainer says the horse is starting to pull with his mouth, yanking on the reins, when they are at a walk.

 

Is this due to something I am doing when we are on the trails?  I haven't noticed him doing that when we are riding.

 

Thanks...
