I've recently got my new horse she is a cob mare. On day 1 and 2 she completely ignored me little interaction so I observed her in field and made my presence known by frequent visits on day 3 we attempted some ground work and got off to a great start. Recently as soon as she sees me she raises her head ears pointed forward. She comes over to the gate nice slow walk where we greet each other, she sniffs my hand and gives a deep breathe or sometimes a nicker as I leave the gate she then goes to the wall where we meet for feed time and after she feeds she raises her head to be stroked. Today we had a moment where she placed her head to my tummy and allowed me to kiss her forehead. Tonight as we went through the same routine she was being stroked but she turned her back and pressed her bum right up against a wall so I ignored as I was unsure as she's never done this she wasnt in front of me she was to my right hand side. When she realised I ignored her she walked away and then I called her back for further stroking and she came.
I previously had a gelding and my new horse Katie is very different.
I'm not sure if we're building acceptance and a relationship or is there something wrong?
