Hi, this is the first time I have ever posted on a forum and I have just joined new rider which seems to be a godsend to me.
Here goes, I have recently bought my 14'1" Arab mare, I've just come back after having 5 years off after a bad experience but riding horses is the only thing I love to do, so back on the saddle I go.
She has a beautiful temperament most of the time anyway. My problem is I can't go near hear her back legs, she just kicks out but when I first bought her she was fine, it's like she doesn't like me it feels and it's really getting me down. She is in a field on her own but there are 2 Shetland in a field but one away and she can see them. I just don't know if she's unhappy, please help as I'm getting nervous around her.
