Are you sure its fitting properly, nothing was pinching ,etc? When you said htat she was a big mush after you untacked her, it made me think of saddle fit or a pain issue.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077353902007793840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-61399913814244296532009-02-07T08:38:00.000-08:002009-02-07T08:38:00.000-08:00Thanks, yall :) We'd just had such a good month (...Thanks, yall :) We'd just had such a good month (aside from the not-loading, which was my fault) and I was hoping we'd moved past bolting. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>I kinda don't think it's really something I'm actively doing wrong with her. She has a whole field full of other horses and hay and water and dirt spots to roll in, but she chooses to stand around with me whenever I come out. Even after we spend an hour fighting about whether or not she gets to bolt, she <I>still</I> hangs out with me. Weird horse!<BR/><BR/>Today is somebody else - Champ or Poppy - then tomorrow I'll take her to my lesson. Hopefully she'll be magical again.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-67315229962646448662009-02-07T04:53:00.000-08:002009-02-07T04:53:00.000-08:00OYE!

But we're much, much better and getting a little calmer every time.<BR/><BR/>Patience and time. Mares will be mares, and this will pass with consistant, quiet work. I promise. Gotta be fair to them though... cause they sure do remember.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902291220984883182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-59512269087657281432009-02-06T22:45:00.000-08:002009-02-06T22:45:00.000-08:00Kacy is right...sometimes mares! Everyone who ride...Kacy is right...sometimes mares! Everyone who rides goes through these ups and downs with their horses, Funder. Even Olympians have off days with a horse when they feel like everything is falling apart. Horses like people and dogs and all other creatures have moods, and mares have more moods. Really. Don't despair.dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072031429438530210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-49655394074743129202009-02-06T20:42:00.000-08:002009-02-06T20:42:00.000-08:00Huh...it did not turn out the way I thought I type...Huh...it did not turn out the way I thought I typed it!<BR/>"hopefully the next time it will be redeemed with you two"<BR/>KKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-387806279795182432009-02-06T20:40:00.000-08:002009-02-06T20:40:00.000-08:00Sorry my friend for that bad day with the mare.
