New horse! pics and questions
hey guys! i know i dont post in here like, ever.. but i do leave a comment every now and then! i love the community, its verrrry informative! so i thought id leave you guys some pictures with a couple questions.
shes a little rough around the edges because she hasnt had any real attention for a while..
background
meet carrie.. a 9yo 15.1hh registered paint mare.. and possible project! ive been dying to own a horse since my parents made me sell my other one before i went to college, but they just havent wanted to have a horse under there name again. so carrie is kind of like a horse i was offered to sort of have as a project for a while. shes very cute with a big movement from what ive seen. ive only been on her once, and just basically at a walk. shes been field boarded without any real riding for over a year so she needs a lot of work.
questions
granted i don't know that much about her.. but....
from what i noticed today, she is very figity, and in the ring she is verrry gate sour.. with constant work, attention and handling, could that possibly be reduced and fixed? also, she has a really bad issue flipping her head, mainly when im on her, like when i put any tension on her mouth. ive heard this can be caused by issues in the mouth, like if her teeth were bothering her.. any other support/input on that subject?
im hoping with some consistency, she could be a very nice local hunter for me to play around with. thanks for everyones help!!
