Picking out a Mini.

[palindromebaby]

I have decided that the rescue is not for me. Half rearing when asked to pick up your front foot is not acceptable. I think I will move on and find something I don't have to wonder about. I am sure she is going to be a cute pasture pal but I'm not ready to have my horses not be more fun than dread

They learn that behavior is not acceptable but definitely if you want one quiet from the get go she is not the one. Enjoy your "shopping"

It is hard to resist the rescue-mentality. That horse must have not "clicked" with you. Good for you to move on.

I also agree with the horse "clicking" for a person, or "the right fit".......It works with finding a dog or a cat too.

I must click with my new mare, while she isn't a snuggly horse, she seems to be better for me than previous owner. I was told she was difficult to catch, but once caught ok to work with; and when I went to see her, she proved that comment, we had to run them all into a little pen, then a couple into an even smaller pen, and then corner her to halter her and she was not happy at all. After I brought her home, she hasn't given me that much trouble for catching, maybe a step or two, but not out right running away or avoidance. I even dewormed her without a halter, just shut her in the shelter, and she let me without much fuss. We have a ways to go before she'll be better, but she's only been here a couple months.
