Arabian Nights (2000)

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: Long ago, the Sultan Schariar has gone mad after his traumatizing near assassination in which his wife collaborated and died at his hands as a result. Now he has a paranoid suspicion of women which he plans to express in a diabolical plan, and that is to marry a woman from the harem and then have her executed the very next morning. To prevent this, the Grand Vizier’s daughter and a childhood friend of the Sultan, Scheherezade, offers herself to be that bride. Now, she must gamble that her plan will work as she tries to cure his madness by telling him story after wondrous story which include the tales of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp. All the while, the Sultan’s villainous brother is making plans of his own and Scheherezade’s stories are more useful against him than anyone can anticipate.

My mom (and I) could really use your help…?
So my mom called me last night and asked me a very puzzling question about her Arabian mare. Whenever she puts her into a trot or canter she "kisses her shoulders.." as my mom put it. By this she means she swings her head from shoulder to shoulder in both gaits, and since she rides western pleasure that wont go over to well in the judging arena.
When Princess was 3, she had a foal. I know, VERY young. She was pasture bred and no one knew..But before the foal was weaned Princess did this when they were both running. A friend told us this is what she does to protect the foal? That didn’t make sense to me…
She hasn’t done it since then, but now all of the sudden she’s picked the habit up again. I’ve spent probably 3 hours on the computer today and I keep getting mixed answers, so I want to see what you guys have to say. That saddle is not pinching her, because it was custom fitted. (she’s coming up on 6, by the way.) My mom rides with a very loose rein and mostly uses leg pressure. I’ve asked my professors and trainers. They all are giving me mixed answers too. This is very frustrating for me, because I want to figure it out! If you can give me any information on what the heck she’s doing and how the heck to stop it that would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks for your answers.

Even saddles that have been custom fitted can have problems. Some saddle fitters aren’t as good as they’d like you to think, or maybe it did fit perfectly at the time but the horse grew. Lots of horses fill out around 5 - 6 years of age. I’d look more carefully into that possibility for starters. Maybe try riding her in some different saddles to see how she responds.

Also try having her ridden by different riders. If she only does it with your mom on board, and not with anyone else, you will have narrowed down the problem!

The fact that she did it running in pasture suggests that maybe the cause is internal. She could have put her back out during foaling and her swinging her head back and forth could be her attempt to relieve some pressure. A good equine chiro could get to the root of that.

hmm. ive never heard that. i guess its her natural way of running. how about try this: try and keep her head still when u run her. i mean like lean up on the saddle, put a little pressure back on the bit, and try not to let her move her head. its odd, but i hope it gets fixed and i hope my answer helped! good luck!

Left right left right on the reins slowly then if she doesn’t respond harder and quicker.
