What no horse lovers?
We're here, alright. Just been too busy to post much, I guess.
I'm in the process of changing horses. My beautiful Libby was having more behavior problems the thinner I've gotten , and is for sale after shattering my arm (and confidence ) a couple of months ago. I'm still very attached to her, but she has developed a fear of jumping and just won't cut it as a hunter. I have a new horse that I am seriously looking to buy, as soon as the orthopedist lets me get back up. Experienced show horse, automatic changes, ignores motorcycles... a beautiful mover and a real packer. Hopefully we will be a good match. Only 16 more days until I can start finding out.
BTW, can anyone explain why a horse that was kind and patient carrying me around at 300 pounds would start acting up as I lost weight, expecially after I got under 200? Not that I'm planning to have any more weight swings, just confused about what happened to us.

Deb, just a guess here....but when you were heavier you were also less secure and maybe you were not asking very much of her. Therefore she just rode you around...no cantering and everyone was happy.
Now that you've lost weight you are asking more of her than she wants to give and she is showing her greenness. Maybe she needs more groundwork to build HER confidence.
Just my 2 cents worth.
