Why Does My Horse Roll?

      Old cowboys told me you could tell a horse's value by how many times he would roll from side to side. Now I know why. It really was a sign of health.

      I have also heard that pregnant mares roll to turn the baby to prepare it for delivery.

     I had a TB mare that I got from a place that had her kept in a stall all the time. She had a sway back and was sore a lot. When I got her, I gave her a special time every day that I would take her into the sand arena on a lunge line and she would roll. At first she could only roll on one side, but after a few weeks she started rolling over to the other side and now her back is much healthier and less sore. I'm able to ride her again :)
