Question
I have a 6 week old Arabian filly at just a few day's old started kicking but now has gone to standing up on her hind legs and striking at us with her front feet she struck my husband in the chest and struck me yesterday in the head while i was bent over cleaning . how is the best way to stop this behavior? please help . thank you margarett
Answer
Hi Margarett,
Simple solution would be to have her in a different stall while her stall is being cleaned. Otherwise, get a foal slip on her, and get soemone to hold her, she must be taught patience.
Arabs are smart.....and if her mother is showing no discipline, and she gets none of her human mum, then she's going to grow up to be one very wilful little madam.
You have to stop this, and stop it now. Treat her like a dominant mare would, tell her off, get her to back down, or you will have major problems and attitude from this lady.
