[RC] Traffic Training - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Belinda Romanuski bj3romanuski@xxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I need a bit of advice. I have just strated a 3 year old under saddle. She is great in the ring. She does serpentines, will trot out nicely, and stands to mount. She is only ridden for 15-30 minutes at a time. When she is ridden in the ring, she stops pretty much by voice, a deep "Whoa", usually is enough. Here is my problem. When I take her out and onto the dirt road, or even in the feild along the road, she bolts after cars pass by. There is no buck, and never faster than a tro, but it scares me a bit because for a breif period of time I have no control. I am curently riding with a D-ring snaffle. I would like to change it to a Tom Thumb. The woman who has helped with my filly's training, says "No Way". I do not often have anyone to ride with, so any solution has to be done with me and Cleo,(my horse). Would it help if I were to lead her down to a feild along my driveway and walk her along the side that reaches the road? I really need to get over this hump in her training. Thank-you in advance for your help and advice. Belinda =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
