Once more she is my precious Queen of Ireland, rather than a spooky old rat bag!
I even chanced it and took her up past the house where the dog attacked her for the first time since it happened. A little tense and nervous as we approached the house and checked out that the dogs were nowhere to be seen - that was me BTW not Dolly! She tried an initial slight spook and spin as we passed the gateway and with a bit of a wither scratch and soothing words she manned up and walked past. Yay!!
The only place she nearly ditched me was when we were coming up our lane on the way home....she was so switched off and relaxed that she didnt notice neighbour's donkey the other side of the hedge and jumped and almost fell over when it shouted at her!
I'm still not entirely certain which part of her feeding was the issue, but I will stick with what she is on this last couple of days I think!
