    Sarah - for openers, pick one problem and focus on that.

    I had picked that one first because there are so many of the:)



    One thing though - forcing her to deal with cows and/or trucks is not only dangerous to you, but it's kind of cruel to the mare. It's not her fault she's never had a real life before! Think of it like forcing a person who's deathly afraid of spiders to stick a hand into a box full of Daddy Longlegs (non-biting) spiders. Not only would you likely get slugged, you'd probably have a hysterical person on your hands, and one that would be VERY mad at you for a long time afterwards - maybe forever! Who would blame that person?! Don't do that to your horse!

    I do not get this paragraph, you tell me how to work towards it, but then you say not to do that to my horse?


    To have a endurance horse, I NEED to be able to leave the yard and ride. IT is not Crewl to the horse, as I am not beating it to like them, I just don't want to be run over and reared at when she want to get away. I know she will come around in time... just imput is good.


    Thanks for the good advice though:)


    Sarah
