Taming The Night-Mare
Working to transform Clancy
into a great mare from a nightmare.
We have an American Standard Bred Mare named Clancy, who to the best of our knowledge is around 14 years old (We have had her for the last 5 years.) She is a beautiful and strong mare, but she has got serious attitude. She is contrary and difficult for me, and even worse for others. She would buck, nip, and flatten her ears just to let us know when she didn’t want to do something; which was often.

Your Standardbred mare sounds a bit like mine. A friend of mine gave her to me about 5 years ago. My friend got her from a Standardbred rescue When I first got her she hated to be touched past the neck. She was a bit nippy and rude. She also hated other horses.
Now she lets me touch her everywhere and is a pleasure to ride. She still doesn't let other horses come near her especially from behind.
I think Standardbreds are great horses. I love my mare.
