[RC] Herd bound - Burnett, EllySince I'm avoiding
studying anatomy at all costs right now, I was reading through the "horse buying
woes" thread and thought of a question. How do you all deal with
herd-bound horses? I just bought a new horse and haven't moved her to my
new barn, but since I'm planning to turn her out on pasture with a gaggle of
other mares, I'm assuming she'll have some problems. Every other horse
I've had has had some degree of herd-boundness. I've never really known
how to approach it. Before, it wasn't such a big deal because I was show
jumping and the arena was within sight of the herd, so that eliminated many of
the more extreme problems (except at shows, but that's another story). Any
help would be super.
