This summer, my mare, Babs, had a foal.
I was the first one to see it, and I was soo excited about having a foal to work with. However, Babs just didn't want to have any part in me, so it was difficult for me to get near the foal. She was really crabby when I, or anyone was around. She still is that way, but it's alot better than when she first had her foal. I try to not work her to hard and end things off on a good note all the time, but she just seems so crabby. I hung around the stall alot just for her to get used to me being around. But she just would pin her ears and sometimes, she would turn her butt to me. I know that she seems like the usual "protective" mare, but the unusual thing is that when I get hold of her halter, she is absolutely fine. I was wondering if their is anyhting else I can do to make her a little bit happier, because I love her, and I just want her to be happy.
Also, when I try to clip her, she completely freaks out. I am usually one who loves to clip, but when it comes to her, its kind of difficult because I do not like upsetting her. I try to take things slowly, but she just hates to be clipped. I was just wondering if there was any way to help calm her down.
