My mares are so diffrent, they are like night and day. My large black mare Ruger is coming along great and she has such a willing personality, but my second won has a strong FLIGHT instinct, every day it we start all over like I never have touched her, she looks like she my have a lot of Arabian in her foundation and acts like it to. Any input to help out with her, or even know if it is just me that has this issue please email me. Other than that I am having a lot of fun, and I hope we are ready to ride in 3 weeks. I go slow and work to make the girls a willing partner, and I just now mounted Ruger for the first time so HOPE WE ARE READY.
