Here are some possible causes and solutions. --Jayron 32 22:37, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She may 'feel' caught between a rock and a hard place. Look at it from her point of view. On your property she had the run of the place – she is the Queen of her domain. Then you take her to another place and she doesn’t understand what was going on with all these other queens. Horse are herd animals, they grow up understand the hierarchy within their own herd (which included you -the rider). Got to ease her into the bigger herd. At the same time letting her know, that the two of you working together can beat the competition. Trying to calm her down, just reinforces her suspicions, that maybe she is doing something wrong and/or other horses are become a potential threat to her herd instinct of her position. At the same time, you may come to appear in her eyes, not to be the leader she respects. One has to let them follow their nature at times. Don't waist money on horse-whispers unless they have a really good proven track record. --Aspro (talk) 00:40, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If they make her miserable, I wouldn't send her to the shows. Her mental health is more important, isn't it ? StuRat (talk) 06:22, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OP - why are you re-posting posts by other people made on horse forums? This one was on horseforum.com recently and from the wording seems to be made by an American. The question on the Computing page about hacking was written by a British person and was posted to the Horse and Hound forum a couple of days ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.48.15.246 (talk) 11:33, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question removed as likely copyvio of above link. Last time we had this happen, the OP kept posting questions from different people on the forums strongly implying they aren't the original author which seems to be repeated here. I have left the replies as I don't want to get into an argument with those who argue against deleting good faith responses. Nil Einne (talk) 12:04, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
