so she is perhaps "too imprinted"...

Oh yeah, I forgot about her being a bottle baby. Those are usually really spoiled coz they don't seem to realize that people aren't just like horses. You've really got to "turn up the volume" with them to get them to react. You'll have to put on your "nasty tempered boss mare" act with her. I know this sounds weird, but with Bob, I have to bring up this mental image of me getting really big and mean, like a grizzly bear. I don't know how it works, but maybe by me calling up that mental image, I'm unconsciously changing my body language accordingly. Whatever it it, it works. LOL!

Good tip! We've been working with her on ground manners. She's pushy and if you aren't careful she'll walk right over the top of you.
