Scully is becoming very difficult in her stable - she used to be fine, you could walk in and she would stand there and let you put the head collar on with no fuss at all. A couple of weeks ago I went in and she span and tried to kick. It took a while to get her to face me and allow me to put the head collar on - once it is on it is fine. Since then, every day we go through this routine, she turns her back on me, I use various ways of turning her, either grooming ( which she loves) or "lassoing" her with a lunge line - dropping it over her neck and then clipping it to itself. Once she is facing me, I have no problem in getting the collar on and she leads out of the stable nicely.
Any ideas on how I can get her to stop this silliness? Or is it just a baby thing? Or is she just saying "I am asleep, go away!" She is out all night - in at 8AM and out again at 4pm - needless to say when it is time to go out she almost puts the head collar on herself!
