My yearling isn't wired right.........

to catch him you have to walk up to his rump and give him a rub and he walks back into you and you can catch him, if you even walk straight to his shoulder he'll sometimes run off and forget going straight for his head, you can just give up! It's like a catching ritual! PMSL! Anyone else's youngsters like odd things? Not that a bum scratch is odd, just it has to be before he's caught! lol

Ha ha - thats funny!

There a FEw weeks ago when we first brought in the yearlings, we had one who couldnt be handled in the stable unless you gave him a pat on the bum first - he wouldnt let you near his head but if you patted his rear hed reverse and turn his head towards you and allow you to put a headcollar on him.
Later on when we started grooming him daily - hed go weak at the hind legs if you scratched his quarters particularly his left side. He was enjoying it so much one afternoon when the manager was holding him that he actually fell over completely! oops!

Ha ha, thats hilarious glenruby!! he's not gone so far as to fall over but he's wobbled and the way you describe patting his rear and him reversing and then turning is my boy to a T! lol, funny things aren't they?!

LMAO, Mat & HG, you both KNOW I'm not wired right!!

well I did spend more time and attention on the poor mite than his awful mother........ lol

nah she ikes bum rubs, just not half as much as him but has been known to frighten people that go in her box as she turns her bum to them they think she'll kick, shame they dont read the rest of her body language and they'd know she wouldn't. She was giving Keira 'donkey' rides today bless! So was Urch and that is a b long way to fall but he was a good boy!!!
