Mymare who very willingly goes out alone and
will leave a group of horses on the trail without any problem at all, would not
even take a few steps away from her pasture mate when I first started riding her
nearly 2 years ago. 'Course she wasn't dangerous about being herdbound, just
balking, a teeny tiny lift of the front end,and ears flat against her neck, no
bucking, spinning or shenanigans like that. It only took her a few times on the
trail to realize she couldn't bully me so had no choice in the matter. Also,
trailering out alone helps as there's no herd to contend
with.
