Yall, I have been working with Molly in the am and the pm when I put her foal sweater on at night and take it off in the am.
Our little routine is pretty simple. I touch her all over give her a good butt scratch which she loves I pick up each hoof and set it down. Usually she kicks at me with her back left so I am ready for it and tell her 'ahh!' when she thinks of kicking, or turns her back end to me. Its not been smooth but not to bad.
Well yesterday I had a tooth worked on and didnt do our little routine. Well this am she was a monster! She was ticked to get her sweater off. She was trying to bite me, no teeth but still. Then she wouldnt give me a single hoof, she fought it the whole way. Several time she turned and kicked which resulted in a pop on the hiney back. I took Sandy and put her in her pasture as normal and as Molly was on the way in the pasture she ran by me and kicked me as fast as she could! That was a deliberate act! OMGosh! She hates me! I know I have to get a handle on it, I just am not sure how. I think she was ticked off because I did discipline her and she thinks she is going to boss me! little stinker!
What do I do? These little mules are quick witted and quick strikers! I dont want to ruin her so I feel its very important!
