Dear Keith...
Tuesday, November 15, 2005
Hi,
My daughter has an 8yo qtr horse gelding who is barn sour. We purchased him in May and when she tries to work with him in our arena, he works until he decides he is done and then he fights to get back to the barn gate. He will prance, fight the bit, rear and buck and try to run to the gate.
We are looking for a trainer that can help us correct this problem once and for all. Is this something that you handle? If not, do you have anyone that you can recommend for this problem?
Thanks
Valerie |
