  • hey there i bought a 3 year old mare quater horse about 8-9 months ago great riding horse. she has alot of trouble leaving for a ride by her self untill we get away from the farm then shes fine.  or if where on a ride and we seperate she keeps calling and pacing running to try and get back to the other horses.   the doment mare and the new mare havent setteled on who's the more doment mare
     
    just wonder if theres another way and or a easier way then just keep seperating her?

  • Kind of still a baby, huh?  You could try the "by the herd means work - away from the herd means relax" approach.
  • alright i'll give this a try over the next few weeks see if it helps thanks
  • Conrad, we're all so busy right now.  I hope you keep checking back to see replies.  I'm not a trainer but we have some good ones.  This is a slower moving forum but it's really great seeing you and I hope to see more of you!!!  (we need more guys!)
    Plus, we need to see pictures!!!  It's a requirement! [';)']

    I went through this with my two geldings.  DROVE ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!  I was lucky that when I was working one that one would behave for the most part, but the other would act like a nut job.  No problem.  They got tied, inside where they couldn't see what was going on.  When the horse I was riding would pay attention to the one having a tantrum they worked HARD until they focused back on me.  Once that happened they were rewarding with stand still or just walking casually.  As soon as I was done the one having the tantrum in the stall was brought out and WORKED!!!! Until they focused on me and stopped the fusing.  I had to do this with both my Sr. horse and the younger one.  They figured it out pretty quick.
  • heres a picture i took when i first got Peppy in late march. i got some new ones just gotta put them onto the computer.  she`s really filling out nice i`ll try and get the newer pictures up on the weekend
  • Awwww, she's a real cutie ':)'  Love her sweet face.  I agree with Tanya that "making the lungs talk to the brain" is a good technique.  It's also nice when you can take one away such as in the trailer and they learn they can survive alone ':)'
     
    Goodluck ':)'
