Hello everyone, I’m hoping for some advise or ideas on how I can help my almost 8 year old chestnut mare. In the saddle she’s fab, a little ploddy but super safe and not spooky at all but on the ground, she can be horrible. I’ve had her bloods checked by the vet, just in case there was something untoward but nothing came up. The latest thing is going to catch her in the field to bring her in to her stable. Sometimes, she’s a pain to catch, turning her bum, tail swishing, ears back etc. When I do catch her, when I try and put her head collar over her ears to fasten, she darts around, ears back and goes in to bite me( she’s managed it a few times too!) I’ve had her for over 3 years and sometimes, it really wears me down. Help!!!
