Location: Southwest Minnesota | So, my daughter has a young mare, 6 years old, that she has been working with this summer. She had been coming along nicely and my daughter has been starting to add some speed. I think she has pain issues but I am not sure where. She was doing great and all of a sudden she's not. She will run and turn the first barrel and then totally shuts down. I mean she stops running and will NOT go. She doesn't rear, or spin, or buck. She just stops. When I was out watching my daughter work with the mare, she peed 3 times after my daughter tried to get her to run. She seems fine and doesn't pitch a fit at all, she just won't move. Any advice would be appreciated...I have very little experience with mares. We have almost always had geldings. Is this possibly ovary pain? Does she need a caslick? Does she need an attitude adjustment? |
Training question...
