all the horses that my neighbors have including my own horse either hate horses or are curious. this made our dog terrified of horses, so when my horse sneaks up on the dog and the dog turns around my horse immediately expects her to growl even if my horse had only been curious. i would love ideas to help this before my horse chases dogs.

My mare, a Spotted Saddle Horse is jumpy around dogs, or sometime anything. i do lots of ground work with her and sack her out on things, yet when I get in the saddle it happens unexpectedly. I am kinda jumpy myself now, readyin g myself for a spook so I don’t come out of the saddle. any suggestions?

I was always afraid of my horse running from dogs so instead of allowing him to be chased by dogs I made him chase them. He has no fear of them now!

Dear Pat and Linda,
My mare has been real jumpy lately and today she kicked the wall in the barn and broke it. What can i do about my horse being so jumpy and irritable lately?

When I got my mare she was the same way. I just brought in one of our older dogs who is gentle and let her get used to her. Them I led her on the trail and stay calm when ever a dog comes by. it worked for me! Good luck!

When you talk about jumping rope where should this be? Outside of thier stall, in the arena with them, or in the round pen, etc.?
