I'm having big problems with my new mare and her feet. She will allow you to pick up each foot, but snatches it away again or kicks out before slamming each one back on the floor. She's too big to have a tug of war with so I'm looking for any practical approaches or suggestions that may help us overcome this.
I have had a chiro/ physio to her today who is convinced that it's not back related and she thinks is more likely behavioural- she's perhaps got one over on someone in her last home and is trying it on?
She is an ex-racer who has been off the track since aug 2013 if that makes any difference? She is currently shod on the front only and is due the farrier in a month or so, so I'm keen to work on this before then! I've had several very competent people try to pick up her feet and her reaction is the same- just to rule out it being something I'm doing!
