I am sad to admit that I actually am pretty wary around babies/yearlings for some reason. I've been kicked twice in my life (by aged horses, no less lol) and feel like my confidence level plummets when I'm handling a baby whose behavior is unpredictable. I can understand having a healthy respect, but it makes me feel incompetent that I get so flustered. I was working with a yearling on Saturday who I've worked with in the past. She's been on the lungeline before with no issues, but on Saturday she would not stop facing me and trotting up to me, and when I'd send her out and ask her to go forward, she'd full-on Black-Beauty rear and then start heading toward me again. I felt like an idiot because it scared me
I ended up just turning her out to run all of her energy off instead of dealing with it. *sigh*
