Re: [RC] [RC] Dealing w/ a horse that won't pulse down due to excitement - Becky Rohwer
I don't think that is just for novice horses either. I have ridden
my mare for 8 years now in competition. I find that if I travel alone
and for the most part ride alone, at least at the beginning of the ride I have
far fewer problems with her than if I travel with someone. Yes, she is a
mare, and can buddy up in a hurry. I hate having to fight with her over
what horse she feels she needs to stick with. If I am specifically
planning on riding with someone it is OK if I travel with them. But if
not, I find it better to just do my thing and not have to deal with
that. I do find that it works well later in the ride if I happen to
buddy up with someone who is pretty much going my pace as by then mare has
settled down and is starting to lack motivation. But it's not unusual
for me to ride the full distance alone. Works better for me
anyway.
