[QUOTE="matty, post: 6738175, member: 12195"] They have been having cake , the daughter has been hand feeding them (as they're both new to the farm ) to tame them down abit. They did seem reasonably quiet,well the first one was,the second got stressed quite quickly and just turned on me. I'm sure she'll settle new place and faces ect didn't help I suppose . I will be accompanied by a piece of blue pipe in future when I go in the pen. Some foals can be little sh1!s I had a colt foal when i weaned him off at 6 months he would run at you go up on his back legs and lash out with his fronts ,typical bloody coltish behaviour that was curbed very quickly. Then he turned to kicking out with his back legs and biting he was a little bugger .once put in he place he was fine. At the moment I have a 7 year old sport horse that is very testing, explosive behaviour and it will box at you with its fronts if it gets stressed .The slightest thing stresses her I do stand my ground with her slowly getting there . I think backing her is going to be the hard part as everyone that has got on her shes bronced off. She does have a very sweet side though and wants to be with you ,which is her saving grace otherwise she'd of had a bullet by now.Mind you if she doesn't come right she'll get one dont keep passengers here.
