    Hi,

    I Have practiced John Lyons teaching and Have found they work excellent... unfortunatly, were I board there is no round pen. I am hoping after a couple of day, she will settle. Unfortunatly, the cows are 1 feild sepperated. I am trying to get the pen closest to them and the road. I cannot put her in with any cows around here because they are all dairy, and there lively hood. Last time I did that was with my last her(were i work on a dairy farm) and she thought it was great fun to chase them... ever seen 40 cows with HUGE milkers racing across a field.... Its A LAUGH..... BUT the milk quota goes down and I GOT IN TROUBLE! So... thats a little tough.. I ALSO think she may be in heat, but i do not know here actions well enough to tell.... I Do think at has alot to do with not trusting me. I think because she is an ex-track horse, she has issues with trusting. I am hoping when she learns to trust me, all will be well. Other then the spooking and getting upset, she seems to have fairly good ground manners. Nips a little, but the last owner hand feed her treats all the time, so she thinks she is going to get some. One more question about endurance. She is has windpuffs... now i know that does not cause lameness and what not, but will that cause me not to be able to ride in an endurance ride? THanks again for all the helpful hints.
    Sarah:)
