Okay, we have a new horse at our stables. The owners arn't very good riders and should NOT have bought this horse, but oh well. Anyway the horse has been mistreated plus never been riden correctly.
So she's scared and dosen't know anything. I'm suposed to get her going well enogh for a simple pleasur horse. Oh she's a 10 year old Andalusia.
Her biggest problems are:
-Scared of the weight in her back which makes her jank her head up which makes the weight in her back hurt which makes her refuse to move another step.
Okay that problem is already (after 3 rides) getting much better poor thing just didn't know what to do and the owners as I said can't ride very well. (there not riding her intill I get her a bit straightend out now)
So now the second problem is:
-She's extremly stiff on the left hand. She dosen't want to bend ect.
She doesn't exept the leg jet very much which makes it very difficult to get her to stay on the outside of the ring. I don't want to be draging on the rain and I really don't want her looking to the outside
Any suggestions other than being pactient? Just want some other opinions here!
Thanks!
