At least she is young and you have an opportunity to hopefully get her going good.
I know he isnt for everyone, but Clinton Andersons methods work well. However, they did not on my skittish mar i mentioned earlier. Every horse is different. Good work!
Good work, Keep at it, I have a mare her who is similar, Not nasty, but very timid and skittish of other people. She was abused and is driven by fear. I've never had a horse like it! It actually took me years to be able to catch her in the paddock. I trim her feet gently when she needs. She will always be this way.
Sting Shes not super bad, hard to catch and skittish. bites when nervous, ive dealt with worse. shes also still kind of a baby, turning four this month
Yeah man. I took lessons with a lady who had the brains of a squirrel. She fostered horses for the rescue, and I leased one from her, with the intent on purchasing him. I never paid anything late. Paid them on time, and vet/farrier/chiro calls were paid for either upfront or promptly after. She got angry with me, because I *ruined* the horseĀ .. I literally got him minding me and not biting me. She worked with him for 5 mins and he then acted more dangerous and restarted biting again. I got out of that situation right quick.
Fox, her injury is a long way from her heart, she will be okay.
I would however get her in and potentially rope her hoof and just practice pressure and release at a decent/safe distance until she understand what you're asking. Build on that.
Sting very minor lameness on the foot she broke some of the hoof wall off. she aint lame enouhg to stop running around the pasture. and she kicked the shit out of my gelding too so its really not bad.
Fair enough haha! This mare is high anxiety and has a biting problem. Rears sometimes and wont hold up a foot. her feet are a MESS from being untouched for over half a year and i got told Im over my head when I said I smacked her cause she *bit me*
