[RC] kicking filly - A. Perez

 I just bought an 18 month-old filly ($450... how could I
resist? :-) ) named Lexi. She has had very little done with her,
and she does not like having her back feet handled.  She has
some sort of skin-scunge on 3 of her 4 feet at the top and front
of her coronet band (scratches?) which is tender, and she kicks
back when I apply medicated gel to the area.  I don't think
she's doing it out of meaness (she does not aim at me, just
kicks back), I think she just doesn't know any better.  In
general she is very friendly, comes when she's called, and is
very calm.

 Not to revive the 'whack-em' debate, but I'd be interested to
hear suggestions on how to deal with the kicking.

Amanda
