Is there a difference in moving the horses feet and chasing however? Sure, by sending her off when she turns her rump to me, I am not controlling the direction of her feet, but I am moving her feet. By sending her away, I keep her moving until I decide to stop her feet, by backing off and softening myself. Am I on the totally wrong track with that train of thought?
She does lift her head up and watch me, and usually start a few steps toward me when I enter the paddock, but there is a moment when she decides Im going to try to make her do something she would rather not and off she goes in the opposite direction. Once I try to force the issue "Im going to catch you now", then all her attention goes elsewhere and her eyes are very difficult to get. So I think I need to be less predictable. Just go in and chuck some apples out for her (she will come up for that), give her a pat then walk away. I do need to catch her at some point to lock her up so that she doesnt get as big as a house.
Its almost summer here now Natural, so shes not going to be crazy itchy for a while, unless a tick finds her
