Our old farrier whilst his work as fantastic just didn't get on with Tess, or rather she didn't get on with him. She was perfecty fine for his helper and stood good as gold but the farrier himself she would muck about causing him to get frustrated and smack her. She is a stubbon old cow and having been beaten in the past , htting her doesn't really do any good.
We have a new farrier now a woman who is very calm and if she dos faff about ( her back legs are stiff due to bad scar tissue) she puts the leg down and asks again. Much easier than entering into a massive argument and causing Tess to rear.... If im honest the old farrier scared me a bit His work was good though.
Has your horse ever taken an instant dislike to someone, she never rears or faffs about but he really got to her and then everytime he came she associated having her feet done with being a little *****. I would understand giving he a slap if she was dangerous but loosing balance and stiff joints is not a reaon IMHO
