The Fuzzy one strikes again this morning

She's really got a thing about it at the moment, hasn't she? Is it mostly overnight that she's doing it? I'm almost wondering if for a few nights it would be easier to have her in so you don't worry about her getting stuck or injured.

I would have gone along with that theory but a few times I had to keep her in overnight about a month ago and she went stir crazy and was so distressed I vowed not to do it again. She would be fine at half eight at night when I left her and Storm in the next stable inside, with Zi free ranging back and forth, but the bed told a different story in the morning. It was horrible all churned and when I came to give her breakfast the following day she would have flattened me to get out of there if I'd not moved fast. She's a strange girl at times - I was only saying to Mr T the other day that mares are quite the journey. I remember thinking I "knew" Storm after a couple of years. But really I didn't, I think it took me a good ten years to really know her inside and out..Roll on next week though when I can sort it all out!

I get that @Trewsers , Luka's the same although he's happy to be in in the winter. His way or no way! I just hope you don't end up with the moat and brick wall approach!

Aw, Luka is like Zi - Zi would love to stay in overnight in the winter. He does have a choice of free ranging mostly but I have to encourage movement for his arthritis. On really bad nights he adores being tucked up in the byre with a net - you can see him visibly snuggling into the straw (and if he gets a rug even better!) 🐴 😬
 
Have you managed to bathe her? Or give her a holly good scratch.
I know mine is itching her head on her knees, so I think I will have to clip some of it.
 
No rug? Luka would have a strong view on that 😂 . There have been days when he's got partway out and then planted because he thinks his rugging is insufficient, likewise if he's in the stable and he isn't verging on toasty there'll be tantrums and people would be forgiven for thinking he was a savage until a warmer rug is on. But heaven help me if he's not got someone else in the barn within sight - next to him won't do because he can't see them easily.
