Welcome to the group. I have 2 OTTB's, they are wonderful! Well, first off your mare is 23? right? So she is up there in age a little. She may have had a rough...
The back cinch if used should ALWAYS be attached to the front cinch.......otherwise it slides back and flanks the horse causing them to buck. I always remove...
