I am 39yrs old, grew up riding and always dreamed of having my own horse. I live in an area with horse prop. and was given a horse in Sept 06 from a friend of a friend who said she was a great horse, but did not have time and had not ridden her for 1 yr. IShe is under 15hands, but is a bulldog!! When I first brought her home she resisted the bit and tried to buck me off. I had her teeth floated and learned that she had some mouth issues that may have caused her pain. I also had her shod, but she still trips alot with her front left foot. The vet said she has some athritis and swelling in the ankles, but didn't seem too concerned. He said she was in good health other than her hay belly that slowly coming off with reg exercise. I ride her mostly by myself and it is always a struggle..she wants to go home, at times throws her head and twice has gone into feirce bucking fits.once put me in the ER. I am too old to get hurt and don't know if I should invest anymore time or money on her??
