I am not sure why, but we have 2 mares that do not respond to RP
stuff like other horses. Dis and Skyfaxa both turn their butt to you
in a RP, and neither one had any tolt training, only halter and
leading, well actually Dis had zero training it seems when we got her
at age 2....Both are very easy to work with though, just other
ways.....
