A little progress

[vick]

I managed to groom and fuss my mare and her off spring today

Thankfully a fantastic and experienced person helped me to gain a little bit of confidence around my mare today.
She was still buck kicking at us when loose in the field, but once we had caught her (with a bucket, over the gate!) We fitted her with a chifney and managed to lead her around the field, with hardly any trauma. She was given a through grooming and lots of reasurrance. I hope to do this everyday now, and hopefully she will soon see that i mean no harm to her or the foal

Oh i missed the post about the birth, how did everything go? Last i saw was when she was only a day or so away i think. Hope baby is ok, and i'm sure as long as you keep everything calm she will soon work out you are ok to have around the baby.

Ive been following this and was abit worried out it...daft i know! I am so pleased you have managed to make contact without having your head kicked in

Its a difficult situation but maybe she just needs abit of time to build her trust in you back up, i bet she is a great mum!!
