Well basically Dee is a very good happy hacker-just the way i like her. But a couple of weeks ago we had a VERY close miss with a tractor at a T juntion. It was scary and she completly freaked out, i prob did too as well tbh. She doesnt normally have a problem with tractors but it was just the fact that it was a huge tractor going very quick and didnt seem to want to stop for us. I shant go into more details as i said it was very scary.
But now we have a problem. When ever we approach said T junction Dee freezes. She wont move forwards at all. I know shes not taking the mick as i think she is genuinly scared as she suddenly holds her head really high (well for her!) and becomes really on her toes almost waiting for it to happen again. Its almost like she has flashbacks of what happened. But literally 10m before the junction shes fine and totally normal then she just freaks out and freezes almost like a mental block.
So what i have been doing is when she gets like this i have been dismounting and trying to lead her past it as sometimes she finds it a comfort to have someone on ground level and we do have a really good relashonship. But she just seems really scared and i cant seem to get her over this. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
