Hi I just bought an 18 yr old thoroughbred mare,when i looked /rode her at the old owners house she was quiet?
she is till quiet to ride but plays up when putting on and taking off the tack ,rears her up and moves sideways etc,twice in the last week she has pulled away from the fence when been tied up and i have taken the saddle off and broken two halters, i have had her three weeks now,she was taken from her 2 year old foal when i bought her,she walks away from me in her paddock unless i have food, is this all just her testing me ,settling in? i used to have a horse many years ago so am a little rusty now.
any advice would be very much appreciated.

Two years old ain’t a foal! You should tie her up with a bungee tie or a tie ring that she when she pulls back, it will give and she won’t break the halter. Of course, this is not ideal. You should get someone that knows more about horse issues and have them work with her and give you advice. That will probably be more helpful, as they can see whats actually happening.

it might be because her foal was taken away from her!!! she might be really depressed because she was taken away from her foal so quickly. was she weened off of the foal or suddenly taken away from her? this could be very bad, at might cause her to react bad to everything, such as when people are depressed, they don’t want to do anything. anyhow, if you don’t know, you should call the past owner and ask if she was slowly weened off. it might just be behavioral issues, am not very sure what to do with that….once u find out from the owner if she was weened off, find someone who can help you with these issues or read up on it on the interenet or books from the library!! GOOD LUCK!!

Could be settling in..
Not out the realm of possibility that the old owners drugged her when you came to see her..
Could be there was a routine they followed when they tacked her up and now youv’e gone and changed it…she is older, she is likely set in her ways and she may be just really irritated with you for doing things differently.
She may not tie up….did you actually see her tied up when you went to see her? Some horses dont tie and will totally flip out until they break the restraint. She might need to be tacked in het stall instead.
She will warm up to you in the paddock….bring an apple or carrot with you when you go to see her each time…soon she will look forward to your visits!

Well it sounds to me like it’s all about respect. Yes she may be testing you because she doesn’t respect you yet. I would stop riding her and gain her respect on the ground first. http://iceryder.net/7games.html That is a great website on the description on the 7 games by pat parelli. Once you master these and show her that you are the leader you can try riding her. It may take a week or a couple but you really want a strong foundation of respect and trust before you get on her back. I hope that when you go and get her in the paddock you arent chasing her! Horses are naturally prey animals so they run from danger and if she is running from you then it is because she is in a new place and she doesn’t understand that you are her leader. Rather than running after her, back up. So go up to her if she starts to walk away then retreat, when she stops walk forward slowly as soon as you can tell she is gonna move then back up a couple steps. Just do a lot of ground work with her untill she respects you and understands that your the leader. Good luck, hope i helped!

Aye. I have mixed feelings on this one!
First, I would have to agree. Maybe she is testing you. She was taken away from her two year old foal, put in a new home where she knows nobody. She may just need a little more time.
ON THE OTHER HAND…
My second feeling is..maybe she was drugged. That always gives me just this awful gut wrenching feeling. Then again maybe she wasn’t. She could have some trust issues. You could always try a technique called ‘join up.’

Good luck

the owners could have drugged her. next time you go look at a horse check around her neck for a little speck, that is ussually where the needle is placed. the horse is in an all new enviroment, this could just be how she adapts. i would try doing some join up to gain more of her trust, if this continues after more than a month, i would get the vet out and then maybe a trainer, depending on what the vet says.

Have you owned a thoroughbred before? They can be very hot blooded particularly if they have ever been on the track. I agree with the advice about the horse whispering techniques offered here. Getting tough with a thoroughbred is a bad idea. Is she the only horse? She will pine for another companion if she is. Since she’s food oriented, I think that is your best course with her. Take it slow. Maybe have a vet check her to see if her back is bothering her. That may be why she’s fussing with the saddle.

Did they drug her when you tried her out possibly? I would get someone professional to help you out. A rearing, disrespectful horse, isn’t one that a novice should be dealing with.

18 year old?? Sounds like she is settling in- does she have good ground manners?? She may be testing you if she has a lack of ground manners…seeing what she can get away with. I suggest teaching her that this is her home- no need to worry, pull, turn side ways etc. She needs to relax….she is an old lady haha. show her that. I would spend more time walking her around her new home. Working on ground manners as well to show her whos boss!

Use a solid rope halter on her that you have tied knots across the top piece, use a solid strong rope that is tied to the halter No Snaps and find somewhere very solid to tie her to where she cant get her feet into anything. Always have a very sharp pocketkinif in your pocket so when you tie her if things get nasty you can cut the rope. Have someone ther to help you if you need it.
If she cant be fixed you will have to teach her to stand when you saddle her. You can’t be a wossy or a quitter if you start this you have to hang in there and be tough,. Take hert o to an open area take a saddle blanket and a short whip put whip under your arm. Hold the riens about 2 feet from the bit go to put the blanket on her if she moves whip her fanny hard and keep her spinning, chase her around in a very tight circle, keep straping her fanny, do it till you can’t any more then say Whoa and make her stand. Keep doing that till she wont dare move. then do it with saddle. Let her know If she wants to move, you will MAKE her move. Always reward her when she stands quietly
Teach her not to ever turn her but to you, you could get kicked in the chops. Take her to the arena with a sharp halter with a low noseband take a short whip, start to walk past her when you get about to the flank, rap her real hard on the hind end and jerk her head around toward you do that untill she will turn toward you every time you pass her.
So she known she has to face you at all times and reward her. When you put her in the stall, step in with the whip if she turns her but to you, warim it up good if she makes any suggest to face you back up immediately, so you are giveing her space when she faces you. Reward her when she faces you, rap her A if she turns away from you.
