: Thanks for your response. I have had her

: I bought a 12 year old heel horse to go to
: some local jackpots on and have recently
: found out that she was once a pretty nice
: calf horse. She had a pinched nerve in or
: around her hip but had a few calves roped on
: her after this happened. She is not hurting
: now or have signs of damage or injury. I
: have roped a few a calves on her and she is
: really nice with exception to the way she
: stops. She will trickle down and kind of
: fade to the left as if bracing for the
: jerk....not ducking just trickling off and
: I'm far past 19 and can't go on with it
: anymore. She doesn't do this heeling at
: all. My feeling is it's a confidence
: issue...Is there a good way to build the
: confidence back in her to take it? She is
: really good with everything else.
