I think I am going to start weaning my little sassy lassy. She is almost 4 months and solid as a rock. Yeah she's confident. She is already second ranked mare out of 6. Her Mommy is the boss. She bucks when you touch her rump, kicks when you touch her hind legs. I have never encouraged her to do this and have done a fair amount of socializing with her. She has always been very independent. She is halter broke and leads well. I have been desensitizing her but I just wanted to get some of your opinions on your methods for training and discouraging this behavior. I want to be sure not to make it worse. Do you think the other mares will be rough on her when I take her Mom out since she is a little fart to them? She kicks at them at the feeder even when she is not eating. She just likes to push her little weight around like she's all that. I would really value your input. I want to get her to a couple shows soon and don't want her to do this in the ring when I need to set her up or touch her. I patted her on the rump in my avatar and that was the 1st time she bucked up like that. Heeelp.
