Curious to hear from others as I truly believe I have a little psycho on my hands and just wondering if anyone can share any such stories or has had any joy with such stroppy madams who like to throw their weight around and try to intimidate.
Firstly, to set the scene, I consider myself to be pretty switched on managing and handling youngsters, training, producing my own to BD Adv Medium and running a large commercial yard. So quite sure, it's not me, it's her! Have played nicey nicey and beginning to tire of her behaviour!
Young mare, purchased as newly broken 3 year old, now 4, attitude like you would not believe, no appearing to be linked to seasons either weather or hormonal, has to be handled in a bridle to keep control on ground, loves to plant and not budge or drag you across field, rear etc. If you tell her off, tends to throw even bigger tantrum. Quite nice to ride. Was horrid in stable but soon learnt that was unacceptable and backed down.
Going to chop her legs off! Anyone got any better suggestions before I reach for the chain saw?
