hiya all i am in need of some advice, i have recently just started loaning a mare, she is normally quite nice to ride however she is horrible to handle on the ground! when you try and tack her up she will spin round and try to kick you, and not even as a threat, she will literally full on try to double barell you! the other day i went in to her stable to get her out and she had me pinned up against the wall and as i was trying to escape was following me with her bum trying to kick me, it was terrifying! when she gets nasty when tacking her up i normally carry a whip and give her a smack if she tries to kick out or threatens to, although this is just a short term solution and just winds her up more. but i don’t want to be soft to her as then she will just push me about more and get more agro! any help would be greatly appreciated as i am just becoming deathly afraid of her and feel there is nothing i can do?
