#and her owner thinks the answer is just adding a stud chain to her halter and riding her in

[sweater-equestrian]

didnt expect to get into a very scary shoving match w our draft today but alas

#to clarify she ran up on me aggressively and pinned me to the gate where i could not get away #so i got into a shove match w her to get her to give me enough space to yanno. walk away #i get why the owners have her she has a great bond with her rider and she can be really sweet #but she has NO concept of pressure or release and its outright dangerous #will never forget the time she broke her riders toes because she stomped and wouldnt back up to get off #like it took ME dismounting and joining in to shove her off before she would back down and get off #and her owner thinks the answer is just adding a stud chain to her halter and riding her in #a twisted scissor gag bit but i could not agree less #she may be a beginner friendly horse on paper but shes far fuckin scarier than our #quote unquote advanced spicey mean quarter horse #bc while the qh may buck you and kick you. she shows her emotions clearly. u know its coming when it is #and she respects basic pressure release commands #our draft type halfie? you can never tell. she blows up out of the blue. like i spend a good amount of free time looking up #horse body language and such. i know what to watch out for. but i can never ever tell with the halfie #and neither can anyone else #even our farrier. a man whos been in the horse business for 45 years cant tell. like hes commented before about how unreadable she is #idk ik it sounds petty to have a bad relationship with a horse but i really dont like her when shes pulling shit like this #not to mention shes mean as hell to romeo like. she pinned me today because romeo dared eat grain #and i told her nicely to back up along w the quarter horse to give him space / stop trying to steal #and again i was asking gently. the quarter horse hit the reverse with the same damn command!! like #i wasnt even touching them yall. and she snapped at me #anyways. ugh. had to have a little rant about her horrible no good behavior
