Wow, thanks for the info! I will definately make sure that we both know how to keep her in line. I know that my friend is quite a "ballsy" person who does not let her horses walk all over her (but not saying she abuses them or anything, ya know.)
So today, actually tonight at midnight, the horse officially belongs to my friend, who is then selling her to us. Hopefully the idiots who owned her and abandoned her don't show up today of all days, lol, that would just be my luck!
Got any good ways to gain horsey trust while retaining respect?
