> 	I've been searching the RC archives, but am not finding the information 
> I'm looking for. Here's my situation:  I have a Mustang mare who trips on 
> occasion.  She's never fallen to her knees, but I've only been riding her 
> about 6 months.  She does it not only with a rider on her, but without a 
> saddle longing in the round pen.  From what I can see, she just doesn't 
> pick up her front feet enough (like it's her way of going).  A friend even 
> commented once while we were trotting in some fairly deep sand that she 
> wouldn't have to work so hard if she pick up her feet more (she's a bit 
> lazy).
> 	From the archives, I know that things that could be causing it are 
> incorrect trimming/shoeing, poor saddle fit, and things like EPM.  Assuming 
> I can rule all these things out, are there exercises I can do to make her 
> aware that she needs to lift her feet a little more?  Ground poles?    
> Thanks for any ideas.....
