I rode chance and ermm didnt go to to well but im having someone give me ideas ect and someone is gonna ride her for me this weekend!
I mean i jumped chance over a 12 in vertical small but wanted to be careful so then she cantered and headed stright for the fence that went to the pasture sooo i stoped her in time then swung her around and she threw such a big buck [back hooves almost above her head] i landed on her neck omg [i was soo shooken up because i never really been on her when she bucked that hard] then i asked her to go forward and she started to throw hissy fits and i had to get off i mean at first she was fine like walk trot and going over trot poles then she got pissy soo i cant wait to have someone ride her for me the person said not to get to discouraged cause shes fixable, but gah my confidence in her and myself is droping so after i got off I lunged her a bit and all she did was buck rear twist around and omg horrible. cant wait to start getting some help ya know?
The vet checked her over she got her rabies and a physical and she looks fine he said and there doesnt seem to be anything bothering her ect. so im happy aabout that
If you just moved at your new barn, I would give her a few days off to settle to her the new environment she is in. It's a lot more stressful for horses to move to a new place than what people think. Let her settle and take it easy the first few times you ride her. I'm sure you guys will get better before you know it.
I have to agree with M2G! Give her a bit more time to settle in. It is a new place for her, she needs to adjust a bit more.
Good luck, I'm sure you guys will be just fine.
I agree to let Chance settle in more, regardless if she was doing that at the old place. It's a new barn, new smells, new sights. Some horses can adjust in a few days, others a few months. Let her get nice and relaxed in her new home before you start asking much from her. Short (10-15 min) rides of walking would be good until she's settled in.
Agreed. When I moved WIlly, I gave him a good three weeks to settle in before I asked him to work. This doesn't mean we didn't ride. But, lots of walks with him around the property, meeting new horses, just walking around the arena, etc. We did some bareback rides down to the pond and just chilled. These times are fun for your horse and help them adjust without being asked to work right off the bat.
I see what you guys are saying but it was the 3rd day she was there and she settled in pretty well and friendly with every horse and person lol but it was our basic problems at the old barn amazing w/t then the rest was a mess

Is there a trainer at the new barn you are out? It sounds like it's a mix of lack of rider experience and horse who knows he/she can be a pest and get away with it. Taking a few lessons and perhaps starting the horse's training from scratch would be a good idea in order to eliminate any behavior problems or bad habits started by gaps in the what was taught to the animal.
OKay I know i need some fixes with riding but im not that bad i Know how to ride pretty well walk trot canter jumping around 3ft with a okay position lol. But I know most of her problems is her past ive never delt with a horse with so many problems like chance and everyone tells me just to ride it out of her. Well I get nervous and i cant I usually have to get off and resort to lunging. And she gets mad at the world and bucks and rears and twist around while lungeing. THe girl who saw me ride/work with her hopefully rode chance for me today. The girl already said we are gonna put her in the round been and lunge the heck out of her then have me ride her. So maybe ill do that sometime this week.

its not inexsperience imo, ive been thrown and blacked out and it HURT and ive been threw a ton with chance [bucks and bolts and thrown off] and i tend to freeze up yes ive fallen off a few times but my confidence in myself has lessened and i need to gain it back, but im not gonna get a horse in its teens the oldest im going right now is 10. Sorry if that sounded rude didnt mean it that way, im just tired. Ill update tomorrow
