What kind of attitude changes should we expect in our mare after having a foal? Our little rescued mare was kind, sweet and gentle before foaling...1 week later, she seems to be a little more pushy and standoffish/grumpy and doesn't want to be caught when she's put out...I know they want to protect their baby but what should we expect and how do you deal with a very protective Mama? We have had her 8 months and rescued her while she was in foal so that's the only personality we have known. So far she hasn't been mean but she sure seems like she's heading in that direction...
