Hi Tommy,
Hope you get your mustang over that okay. Mine wouldn't let anyone but
me touch her, period. She was like that 'til the day she got loose in
the desert...never to be seen again. (She was 8 years old when taken,
and 9 by the time I started riding her.)
The Arab I have now will let anyone handle him, EXCEPT the vet. He has
to be tranquilized for even routine floating, shots, etc.. He's dog
gentle for everyone else. I hope he behaves himself in a ride situation
for the vets. We'll find out at his first LD this year. I'm hoping
it's just a kneejerk reaction to the disinfectant smell at the vets'.
He's had a couple tramatic cancer treatment visits there, one involving
extensive surgery.
Good Luck to You!, Nikki
