Does anyone have any advice about what to do about this.
I hung up a net of haylage then weny into my yearlings stable to top up her water. She turned her bum at me and kicked out. Luckily for me I was still near the door so backed out, any further in I would of been trapped.
This was the first time she had haylage shes usually on hay. She has been known to do this with her hard feed but never with nets. I got a broom and used the handle end to rub her with. She lashed out several time each time I said "NO" after a few times she just lifted her leg and swung it about then stopped bothering after a few more times. I praised her when she never reacted. Is this an ok way to deal with things? Any advice
The broom was only an extension of my hand. She is well used to being rubbed by things. She is extremely confident and bold. Prehaps to much so
