!!!!SHYING!!!!

[McMaster <mcmaster@reach.net>]

Hi Ridecampers,
I would really appreciate some advice on how to change my mare's method
of shying.  Today my friend and I were galloping our horses up a slight
incline and they both saw a squirrel and skidded to a stop.  Christine
managed to stay on, as Chicky sat down and slid, raising her head and
front end.  Ember does the opposite, planting her front legs and
dropping her front end and head.  I was launched over her head and
landed on my backside and helmet!!! Hard!
I know most horse shy and I can stay with my gelding, but this mare is
like a cat and I am definately getting too old for flying dismounts.
Thanks.
