Dear Keith...
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
I have a 4 YO mare that is green broke. She needs more training as she spooks at different things and also she will try to kick at other horses. She is turned out by herself but can walk up to a fence next to 2 yearlings and is fine.
Does John have any videos or books on how to correct this as she is a super nice horse but I am reluctant to ride her due to these issues.
Thanks,
Bev D |
