I have just bought a yearling filly and gelding, they arrived last monday, and are currently kept in a large loose area of the barn because the ground is sodden here still!
I have a problem, and i really don't know what to do, when i enter the stable area she is at the gate/door with her ears flat back, and when i walk across the area to say break the ice on their water trough she wil follow me, ears flat back almost like this:
and she will walk right up against me, often standing in front of me and pushing against me when i move, for example, skipping out, i will be skipping out, and she will suddenly wander over with her ears flat back (Like image) and stand as close, Practically on top of me, as she can.
I know in her previous home where she was bred she was titbitted alot with polos.
But please can anyone offer any advice?
The gelding doesn't show any of this behaviour at all and is a reserved/shy little guy whereas she seems to be pushing the boundries a little to far!
