please help! my horse tanks off, bucks, rears, and generally goes nuts when Sugamama we ride in the field, even at a trot. She is fine on the road, so it can Registered User not be pain. She is even fine when l trot her in hand around the field Joined: Friday, 28th of May 2010, 04:28:47 so..... l really wanna know why she does this, and how l can stop it, cos Posts: 1109 it is really getting me down. we do not have a sand school to ride in, and Viewed 19370 times the field is the only place we can do the stuff l wanna do (jump, canter,
dressage, etc). so please if any one know is why she might be doing this,
please please answer. (by the way, she was fine in the field a couple of
months ago, and then suddenly she went nuts! :( ) thank you!

Sounds like your horse is sensitive to wildlife or wild plants Bella <3 when a prickly burr sticks to it is rump. That could be one reason. Registered User Joined: Sunday, 23rd of May 2010, 15:48:17 Posts: 1860 Viewed 12006 times

it is likely something has happened in the Field to scare her. Honey she will be fine trotting in hand because she can see you, & feels safe. Registered User but as soon as you are out of sight, even though you are just on her back, Joined: Wednesday, 2nd of June 2010, 21:47:44 she will feel frightened that whatever spooked her a while ago will come Posts: 85 back (even if it was just a plastic bag flying around with some ponies, Viewed 5627 times but this sounds like it was more scary) this is how horse is mind is work.
so the best thing to do would be to try lunging her, tacked up, in the
field a few times, at different gaits. then get someone to lunge her
while you ride her etc until she gets used to it. she should be back to
normal in no time! good luck!

you say she is fine on the road but not in the field when Koolaid ridden? Registered User Joined: Wednesday, 12th of May 2010, 00:35:48 do you do the same routing when you ride in the field? Posts: 1540 Viewed 18541 times it may be due to excitement but i would expect her to do it when you are
on the road if that was the case. personally it sounds like she has
gotten into a routine in the field & has also learned that by playing up
she gets to go out & be ridden & thus have a change of scenery. i may be
wrong but that would be my gues just by what you have said.
if it was a problem with the tack or pain then you would have problems
every time you ride her but you say it is not the case.
i think you need to get a riding instructor to give you a few lessons in
ur field with you so she can see what is happening, remember she will be
able to see from the ground things that you cannot see when you are
riding her. then you can work on this problem together

Get her saddle checked out to make sure its not pinching her. Minty Cowgirl The things you mention hint that she may be in pain from her saddle when Registered User doing faster work. The fact she is fine when not being ridden & when on Joined: Wednesday, 9th of June 2010, 04:27:51 the roads (when I presume you keep to fairly slow work - no cantering Posts: 867 etc). If she is definatley not in pain, then it sounds as though she is Viewed 14679 times either doing these things because she is excited or because she is being
nappy. I think ur best bet would to be to have a few lessons on her with
an instructor, they can identify the problem & help you & her overcome it.
Good luck & don't put yourself at risk!

The only answer here is to have her assessed by a professional Barfalamew rider/instructor. Bucking. rearing and running off are too dangerous for Registered User you to be trying this and that. It may be that she got stung which caused Joined: Sunday, 9th of May 2010, 12:05:03 the reaction, but knowing this doesn't cure the resulting behaviour. It Posts: 2016 sounds as if she is learned that this behaviour pays, and needs some Viewed 12257 times retraining.
Good luck
