| IF you don't like her try to take her back. If its only been a couple days and she was misrepresented you have a good leg to stand on legally. From experience once they learn they can get away if they do that they wont stop. I had a horse for 7 years he did it the entire time and now 10 years later he still does it at races. That's just his thing, but otherwise he is very nice in barrel and poles. |

| I owned this mare for 4 yrs and trail rode her, gamed her and took her in several parades. Can I please talk with you :) I sold her to the lady that you got her from last weekend and Cash was sold by me knowing she has a history of pulling however we found ways to fix it when she would have an issue. I had luv this mare and hoped she would have a good home. I own her yrling gelding as well that I plan to raise and run someday. |

| quote] Do you think they had her doped????
Most likely yes. I won't buy a horse without me having it for at least a week unless I know the people Real well.... Still not fail proof as some things last a month but they can't get a quick one over on you so easliy this way.
Sad but true

| Cash is pulling to test if she can get loose. The saddling is a trigger but as you have seen not the problem. She needs to find out she can pull and pull but not break loose. Did the previous owner tell you I always tied her with a knotted halter no buckle and she never like to be tied alone without a buddy. I told them all they needed to know about Cash when I sold her!!! I wanted her to have a good home as I gave her for 4 yrs :) She will come out of it but not without working on it and knowing who cash is and her likes. I'm sorry if the owners you bought her from did not explain this too you. I promise you she was sold to them knowing that she has had a pulling issue in the past and how to work with this. |

| Why not get a big tire to tie her to that she can drag a little ways and not feel trapped, but not go far? |

| I had a big app gelding that was wonderful but started pulling back. He was big enough that he could break anything. After struggling, I just untied him when saddling, just laid the rope through the tie. When he started moving and the rope was not tight, he was fine. so where I really never tied him up tight and he was very easy to deal with then.

Location: North Dakota | A horse that age doesn't start pulling back just like that! I would take her back or to an auction and be done with it. Its not worth getting hurt or wasting your time on a puke thats dangerous!! |
