If I could change one thing it would be my horses bolting on the trail problem. Every time I go out he wants to run!

I wish I could take away my senior mare’s arthritis problems and allergies to make her more comfortable. I would also like to take some years off of her so we could have more time together.

I’d make my horse a little taller (she’s a pony) and a little more predictable on the trails. I also wish she had more jumping training, but that will come with time and hard work. She’s worth every bit of work I’ve had to put in, and I love her just the way she is 🙂

I just wanted to clarify my previous comment. It wasn’t that we were irresponsible horse owners, in fact, we didn’t own Ladybug until she was 20. She had been used extensivley as a broodmare before we got her. She also had been a padded show horse. She still has the scars from soring. I wish we could have had her before the damage from the cruel treatment became irreversible.

The only thing I would change about my horse is make her younger. She is 25 now and is stiff; I would love to go back in time and take better care of her so that she could feel better when she got older.

My horse was in an accident before I owned her. I dont know what happend but it left her with some pretty bad scares. I would like to change that and go back in time to before the accident and try to prevent it. I always wish she didnt have this handycap but then I think about it and if she never was in that accident then I wouldn’t have her. She was given to me because of her injury’s so in the end I wouldn’t change a thing.

My horse is broody and unpredictable, and by far the most difficult horse I’ve ever ridden. However, I wouldn’t wish to change him in any way. It’s the most difficult horses who teach us the most, and I’m grateful that he doesn’t spoil me.

My horse’s unpredictability when it comes to being brought in from the pasture. She loves to ride and sometimes she comes right up to me and sticks her head in the halter…..othertimes it could take me half an hour to catch her or I give up.

If I could change one thing about the Mustang I am leased it would be either his magnetism to grass or his attitude to large groups of horses, especially other stallions or geldings. My Mustang was born in the wild of Utah, captured at around 6 months, and then brought to Oregon where he has had 5 owners (most of the owner changes were health issues with the person). Until he landed with the family who leases him to me my Mustang never got complete training on manners of grass. So add these to componets together and grass is a horror story. He can be going down a steep hill and will stop to eat, nearly throwing me off! If he sees green… by by.
His other main problem is his competitiveness to large groups of horses and other stallions or geldings. I believe this to come from his wild days or the fact that he is the alpha in the barn. I have had some near injuries, most accruing when he is around a bunch of new horses. But I have to admit that he is improving.
I love my Mustang more than anything! He is my heart and there is never a time I feel like I have kissed him enough. Just these two things. And every time I am around him he improves.
