Re: [RC] horse shopping and the spookiness scale - firedancefarms
After raising foals from different
mares and how they react, I have seen a lot of foals "made' spooky or not spooky
by their dams.
One way I judge whether a horse can
'improve' on his spookiness is if they spook at the same thing every
time....I'll pass, but if they seem to learn and not spook at it again, they
usually become very stable riding horses.
Other things I've learned that can make
a horse spooky are a sore back or the rider herself.
