Control/Respect exercises for a pushy horse who knows it is 100 times a bigger than me?
lunge, lunge and LUNGE! in a round pen, before you ride, and if she acts up get down lunge her with the reins and then get back on or TURN her in circles until she quits. we do a lot of training and 90% of the problem is the owner not knowing how to properly reward good behavior and then punish bad behavior and then almost 80% doesn't lunge there horse or doesn't know how to. that how we are able to fix most problem horses within 2 weeks. good luck. use a rope halter. if that doesnt work use a chain under her top lip just a few times until she gets it. DO NOT USE OVER NOSE. if she gets loose from you she could break or tear her own nose by stepping on the chain lead while over nose. you might want to carry a crop for awhile and threating her with it when walking! lots of lunging in a round pen WILL change this. good luck! (p.s. i don't care how many people hate me on here im still here and won't leave)
