    i only ha i only have her on part loan at the moment so her owners are usually around when i am tacking her up and i was aware she had behaviour issues but i didn’t know it was this bad, i have mentioned it to them but they just keep telling me it is normal behaviour for her :(

    what i meant by try to kick is she will kick but i can normally manage to move in time, i have spoken to her owners as they say she has always been like this, i knew she was difficult but i didn’t really know she would be this bad!
