She gets rinsed off daily ...... then we "talk", scratch etc. Not only good for her -- but good theraphy for ME too >> shouldn't hurt ..... she KNOWS it's wrong to snap, snap as after I yell >> at her she will keep her head perfectly straight forward but then 'pop' >> her lips togehter one more time (like a defiant kid). > Well wait till it settles down to just the one little pop.. > then work on that. I thought we had it conquered (more or less) .... then yesterday I was cleaning out her feet -- she was really being good -- until she snapped ..... my behind got in the way (I was cleaning out her left front hoof) and the rest is history. I don't think she really meant to nip me .... I think she was snapping in her usual manner and my backside was too close. I SHOULD have had her on the cross tie but didn't ..... she got a good POP on her shoulder and she after that she didn't even offer to turn her head again that afternoon, nor did she snap, snap, snappy anymore either. >>> *IF* she stops and behaves.. make sure she knows beyond a >>> shadow of a dount that she's a good girl. take a bunch of >>> time for this to make the point. >> Okey Dokey ......

She's a wonderful carriage horse ..... soon as she gets the harness stuff on she's calm as a cucumber and it's like she's saying "I know this and I know what I'm suppose to do, AND, I'm GOOD at it" Again ...... thanks for the advise. --- * Origin: SEDONA, My OWNA (1:371/33)
