Dear Keith...
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
I have recently purchased a 12 year old gated horse that I am having problems with You are riding along doing just fine and he will suddenly start rearing up and spinning around in circles. He will do this for several minute then when you get him to stop he will ride fine again for awhile then start the same process over. He does this several times each time I ride him. He has even started backing up during these fits that he has. Do you have any recommendations on what I need to do to correct this problem. |
