I think it may be that she is this way now, but it doesn't necessarily mean she will be this way later on (she's young, right?). The more experience she gets, the more clicks (at the moment BEFORE pinning) for good behavior, the better she will be in the future. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
