We can try working with her without the farrier around in the arena.<BR/><BR/>I have tried this technique with Zing when he refused to go through the arena service door. Or I should say Kristina did.

If not then I woudl procedd as follows:<BR/><BR/>As soon as she starts to sit down I would longe line her, no anger, just move her in a circle on a longe line a couple of times around, then attempt to pick up a rear foot again, repeat as many times as needed, eventually she will realize it's easier to pick up the foot then have to go around in circles.Hillsidefarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143407936981204749noreply@blogger.com
