I had to go to the Hospital..time for a Gypsy Update

[buttercup132]

that the horse had been ridden before at a stable and was fine

That might be true, I know there are alot of people who show and stuff and can hop on any horse and make them listen. Not saying your a bad rider or anything but I was the same way with Rowdy.

After thinking about it, I just started to realize that this farm is like a puppy mill, 80 some horses, that he doesn't know much about, he just sells them. The main ones he makes sure he knows about is the registered ones. And Gypsy wasn't registered.

That's sad. But doesn't he get them from other people? Maybe they were auction horses he saved.

I have seen on horse classified ads where people say like 30 days with professional trainer and they can w/t/c fine. So they must do good. I think if you get a few days and keep being consisitant then she will be good.
Also once you get more used to the way her body moves etc you will just be able to tell when she is going to do something like act up or spook and you'll be able to stop it.

I'm so glad your ok.
