[RC] Herd-bound problems - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

It seems to me that almost every horse is at least to some extent 
herd-bound.The question is,how badly herd bound,AND how athletic is the 
horse?(Very herd bound and very athletic on the forehand equals big trouble.) 
For my horse,NOTHING has ever had any effect on this behavior,altho I've 
learned to work around it somewhat. I think it is either genetic or something 
developed at an early age.Most of the FT horses we ride show some herd-bound 
behavior when it is neccesary to ride away from the group.For most of 
them,however,the problem is pretty mild.
