Hello Cindy,

I know its been awhile since you have posted this but maybe you still need help or something... Seven years is still along time for a horse i mean just imagine they can have babies by then and everything, with saying this , Your horse has been with another "owner" for seven years, if you know the person you bought it from then great, but if you dont you never know what kind of "Experiance" this horse has had... Maybe she was in a pasture with other horses that abused him/her. Or something like that, i mean you can never tell. Me and my older sister have a 19 yr. old arabian and she is afraid of EVERYTHING... she will snip at us or freak out even if we just lay food in her bucket right in front of her... its nothing bad you just have to be cautious.. Make sure you have the right size blanket on her, some horses are just stubborn and they do stuff without thinking of you... Try "avoiding her for ahile" Give her her food, and then leave... Or just sit there and watch and see what happens... Maybe its just because it is a knew environment for him/her...and it takes some getting used to ..! ! !

Well i hope this helps you.. if you have ANY questions you can always contact me! ! !

Bye,
Kate V.
