You don't see spayed mares very often. You are right that's very likely part of her orneriness. I can only imagine how she might have been before the spay. I've only laid hands on one mare that was spayed due to behavioral issues and she was almighty rank.
That's so nice. I have one mare that is "special". I either have to put a halter and lead to get the blanket on or I am lazy and hold her equilume mask and struggle with one hand. Fumbling I am very familiar with.
She'll patiently stand there for me to put it on. Probably rolls her eyes a bit because I fumble with it lol. More than anything, I have it on her for a little bit of extra warmth since she doesn't grow that good of a winter coat
Gotta love mares. We've gotten a little rain so I put turn out blankies on two of my mares. The one mare refused to move because suddenly she didn't care for the blanket, this was even when I gave her food. Mares really have a mind of their own.
Well, she knows that if she does try to push me around, I have zero tolerance for it. She's only done it a few times, mostly because she was unhappy with something
I like her character. I could do without some of her non-verbal complaints...Like her purposely shitting in her water tub, in front of me, because she was complaining about not having her coat on
Spent an hour and a half cleaning. Went out with a rope to bring her back in and informed her that she is a lady and will behave as such. Meaning when she tried to trot ahead of me she got to back her sassy booty up lmao
I was cleaning Oklahoma's stall area today and since she was being a bit of a pest, moved her out to the pasture. As soon as I let her go, she immediately crow hopped and tried to charge the gate mom was holding closed. Then proceeded to have more bucking fits lol
