So I just got back from a show, and I did pretty well with my little mare! However she was also a little butt head XD
During the show (especially in the warm up ring) she’d suddenly either jump in the air and kick out, buck while trotting, or just kind of jump to the side. She’d do this no matter if she was moving or standing still. She’s not lame or sore in any spots. She doesn’t do this at home, or really anywhere else. She’s the chillest mini when it comes to everything, however when I’m at a show she suddenly acts out. Do you think she was just feeding off my nerves or if it was something else? Next time she does this, what can I do to help stop this behavior? Normally I’d either make her quickly back up after she did it, or lunge her a bit but it didn’t seem to help. Any ideas?
Thank you!
