[RC] Riding an Arab... - SundaezSome of you may remember I am getting used to riding my arab mare (AKA The Cat) I got last Nov. She's going on the trail pretty well now and i'm taking dressage lessons that are tremendously helping my balance on her. She does something on the trail that I don't know quite what to do. She notices everything...and I mean everything! I've never had a horse take note of so many things. She gets anxious if she sees something very far away...like a person walking a dog way off in the distance. Really seems to trouble her more than anything close up. She stops in her tracks, goes real high headed, eyes get huge. If you push her forward she goes but gets more and more upset and sometimes tries to leave. What do you guys do in this situation? Let them stand and watch...ride them forward? I'm really building her confidence in me and don't want to ruin it...she's come so far....but really acts more green sometimes than baby horses I have had.
