Like Natural said, she will be eventually carting the kids around, so she really needs to enjoy her job. Part of the problem is her total lack of handling to this point. She understands about being caught and haltered, but hasnt been WITH and enjoyed people. People mean possibly food or being man-handled, not much else in her opinion. So far her interactions with people have been annoying, uncomfortable and not much fun. Last night I went in with the intention to just fiddle around, not lock her up. She came right up (having the kids carrying a bucket of apples may have helped) and we chilled out for a while before letting her go again. Later that evening when I came to actually catch her to lock her up, she came right up for a nosey. Had I walked directly towards her, Im thinking she would have legged it. DDR, Ive found her almost to avoid looking at me when she gets in that evading "mode", if I try to position myself, she swings so that her rump blocks me. My thoughts would be to "send her away" again when she does this, as presenting a rump is "threatening" behaviour (might I add she flicked my eldest daughter with a hoof when she tried to catch her when we first got her).
