I don't think your mare would necessarily benefit from the bag trick.... And I think 'sheer panic' as a training device is a risky tactic to try.
Any news on her? Has that guy ridden her again?
I agree. That's why I knew the minute I saw that trash bag fill up with air, I had made a mistake. Should have started with a small Walmart bag. But since I had started, I figured I shouldn't quit. I had a feeling Rusty would be OK, pretty fast. He has a good head. But another more goosey horse could have really hurt themselves, or just never recovered.

My mare who could never get comfortable with anything plastic had been thrown and tarped. Punishment. I think that was why it was always such a scary thing for her. I couldn't even get close to her with a rain coat on. Just the smell of plastic was enough to spook her.

I was just thinking if she bucks me off again, hmmm. :')
I haven't talked with anyone today. I'm going out there about 6. I haven't decided if I'm getting back on yet. If I do I'm gonna tie her up first and longe her hard . Working on my nerve right now.
I've already started leveling the playing field by putting her in the pasture and decreasing her pellets. Not sure what else to do. How she acts today going to really affect if I keep her even awhile or not .
