I have got a three or four year old Arabian cross, Pepper.
When I got her she was very very unruly and dangerous. I worked her through that, wasn't too hard, she was a pipsqueak back then. But now she is a full grown, or close to full grown, horse.
She started to rear up in peoples faces, jump the fence, bite, and chase people down. A couple of weeks ago she reared up and got me in the chest and she chased my bestfriend's mother out of the pasture.
(we tell everyone now don't turn tail and run from her, walk calmly.)
Pepper is smart as I don't know what. I've never let her get away with too much.
She has been started under saddle in the last few months. She has had next to perfect ground manners, it's just recently.
I'm just curious as to why she might be acting up... My dad says she is playing but I've never allowed her to 'play' like that, atleast not with people. Maybe it's my fault, a training gap or I've just been treating her like my baby, even worse she has something physically wrong...
Any suggestions would be might helpful.
Thanks!
