I am in love with her and if I pay attention to the cues, can get along well with her personality. I am not one to discard animals..she is not dangerious towards me or others..she actually is so well behaved and resonalble..it is jsut sometimes she looses it. Kinda like us all!<br />Overall...I love a mare!KKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-41379853743414245342009-05-07T10:16:00.000-07:002009-05-07T10:16:00.000-07:00DP Maybe...it did not occur to me since she just c...DP Maybe...it did not occur to me since she just came off that 3 week season!Mee too...it was dicey<br /><br />Lisa YIKES is right...well..it was not an execution I made..it happened fast I just thought to get my feet out of the stirrups!I too am glad it was not a swash event!Thanks Lis!<br /><br />Jane Thanks Jane...I have been just soo tired lately with this weather and not sleeping well...I had started these two posts last mo. so I just thouhgt to share them instead of discarding them.

I don...Hey Kac, So good to hear you were not hurt! I don't think I EVER remember jumping on my horses from the flat! LOL! Too short...even quarter ponies were too tall! I'll have to say, the first idea that came to mind was that she was cycling. It's not that she's trying to a bad horse, it's well, a little like we are (were, for me) when just going into one, edgy! Has she ever been bred? If you've mentioned it before, I missed it. One rein stops are not going to work well...the best thing is to get her eyes on the ground with a heads down and if you have to dismount to do it, so be it! I've had many people tell me about the raspberry leave herbal stuff you can give them at that time but I've never tried it. Only way to get rid of the issue altogether is ride a gelding and we are too in love with our horses to do that! Usually people who tell you to do that wouldn't have a mare in their barn....personally, I don't agree. Mares are sometimes more responsive and move forward well. Each horse is different. Start a journal with the dates and you'll begin to see a pattern I bet. Happy riding! I have a contest posted today if you're interested!?LuLo Designs/Blue Eyed Tangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18432986911571557592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-71105692498480064952009-05-07T08:38:00.000-07:002009-05-07T08:38:00.000-07:00That must have really shook you up.

The one rein ...Kacy, glad you are back, missed you! The one rein stop is good sometimes but it doesn't work on every horse. I have read of others trying it and the horse fell. So far it works with Gilly. He has fallen on me three times and that's enough....a scary thing! This was two years ago and he was younger then. He balance seems much better now that he is older.<br />Like dp said maybe it was heat related, hormones can make them (and us) crazy!<br />Glad you weren't hurt and her no more than a scratch.<br />hugs.......<br />~Jane and Gilly~jane augensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053766605374583376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-39782734742968451122009-05-07T00:06:00.000-07:002009-05-07T00:06:00.000-07:00Yikes!

And such wisdom on your part not wanting to ride her if she shows such behavior again. Baby Doll has done that screaming for other horses behavior once before and ended up doing the jiggy, nervous prancing, too. Not fun.<br /><br />I'm just relieved you're ok, my friend.<br /><br />(((HUGS)))<br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-17605630963401301682009-05-06T23:18:00.000-07:002009-05-06T23:18:00.000-07:00Sounds like a mare in heat to me, Kacy.
