Dear Keith...
Wednesday, June 20, 2007
Hello, My name is Beth I live In Florida, My horse Jughead has one very dangerous vice. He bolts or attacks when he sees other horse’s. I am having a very difficult time with this problem. He is a very large quarter horse 16 1 – 1300 bls but I believe he may have been gelded late or he was beat up in the pasture before I got him he does have a lot of scare’s. I have only had him a few months and we have a very special bond. He trust me like I have never seen before. We even lay together, but when it comes other horse’s he has almost killed me. What can I do. It has made are ridding very limited, I want to go off and venture but can’t. I have done some of the other training tec’s you all talk about he is stubborn but I don’t have that much of a problem with him he come’s around. Can you help? Thanks so much Beth J |
