Information only. I didn't really have any time to watch videos
between work, new boarders and getting ready for LBL this weekend so for
now I tried what Ranelle suggested here, just tried warming up to her,
advance and retreat. It has taken close to 2 weeks, daily, but last night
she let me drape my arm over her back. I have not gone near her head
yet. She does not kick or bite, just pins her ears but even so, I'd
like to keep taking it slow until she is ready for me to hold her
halter. Thanks again for all the advice and as always, patience does do
wonders with horses.
