Maybe lots and lots of long, slow miles (walk,
walk, walk) until she learns? Unless she has some mechanical problem or
crooked feet or legs. I should think that in time she will
learn.
I have a Morgan mare that I've just started trail riding. She
is absolutely terrible about watching her footing. She stumbled and trips over
rocks and holes, and if she is excited or scared I think she would dive over a
cliff. Of course, this is pretty dangerous. Any ideas what I can do to get
this mare a bit safer? She was pasture raised but I've had many horses that
were pasture raised that did just fine and were great trail horses. I don't
have another saddle horse at this time so can't turn her loose or pony her.
Thanks
