My mare objects very strongly to having her belly brushed. Ears back, stomps around and will threaten to bite. If she is tied up she moves her back end around to get away.
She will let me touch her belly and doesn't mind the girth or rug being done up. As so as I approach with a brush of any type she starts up. Even if I just place it still against her.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can work her through this? I have been using my hands to stroke her all over and including her belly briefly but don't quite know where to go from here.
She was unhandled for the first 6 years of her life and is 7 now. Welsh sec d.
