Yeah - worse... ;~D

Remember, she was bottlefed... and had obviously been allowed to walk right over the top of people.

But she's not hard to correct. She just tries mischief. As soon as I had a rope around her neck, she was docile as a lamb. She'll do stuff like pin her ears and stomp when we're putting her blanket around her belly, but if you say 'HEY!" and slap her, she stands nice.

She'd be a good horse for those clinic cowboys to use as an example horse. She'll do the bad thing, and respond to the first correction :~D She's bad, but soft... you don't have to break something over her to correct her.

I didn't know that she was bottlefed. That's interesting.

She does is very mischief-y :-) It seems to me like she likes to test you a lot. I'm just surprised that she took a swipe at ecurbh. (Nipping and biting really gets me up in arms when a horse tries it on me.) I'd hate to see it develop into a habit, but I know that you won't let that happen.

She's bad, but soft... you don't have to break something over her to correct her.
She's like the kid in the schoolyard who likes to mouth off but breaks down as soon you send him to the principal's office :-)
