Preparation for winter stabling (sorry mentioned the 'w' word)!

[GeorgeyGal]

My 2 year old has been out 24/7 since April but will need to come in overnight with the others from October. She was in last year for the first time stabled, she did okay once settled in a routine, odd door banging but nothing dangerous or excessive. I've been thinking I could start feeding her in there as preparation but is there anything else I can do? My thoughts are, stick with feeding daily in there and then just get her straight into the winter routine with the others rather than extending her time in the stable gradually as she won't know whether she's coming or going and she may be on her own in the stable block. Any thoughts?

My girls always dislike coming in for the winter, regardless of how nice I am about it. I do find the fact that they know there'll be a feed waiting for them makes them more agreeable - even if it's not as fattening & greediness-fulfilling as they think!
IMO, just launch her into the routine & stick to it. Once she realises it's not going to change & it's not doing her any harm, she'll settle down. Babies are more resilient than people think.. I threw allsorts at LL without preparation & because I was unflappable, she was too
