Ariel is not letting us catch her! she charges you then runs away! This crap has been giong on for at least 2 hours! We are going out again in a bit to try again! ANy sugestions!??!?! We have tried to corrner her, tempt her with food, etc. but nothing works! HELP ME!
I'm not sure what to tell you.
have you tried just being out there and waiting for her to come up to you? Maybe even putting her food out there and waiting for her to come up to it.
If we just stand there she comes galloping up with her teeth bared and ears pinned. And we tried that but she was to quick. She does have a halter on, but won't us get close!
We need to catch her because it is supposed to rain, and it is already really cold, and we have LOTS of cyotes out here! I'm NOT leaving her and the baby out there! And she foaled 4 days ago
no, it would be WAY to easy for her to bolt out onto the road, and right now there are stupid motercyclists, I would like to go hit some sense into their probably drunk heads right now
no, my mom hates run ins. She didn't want them built on the property last spring, but now has changed her mind and we are working on geting some. They have one bare tree
The vet was out minutes after the birth. We don't have panels but we do have left over hot wire tape that we could put up if worse comse to worse. Our yard is fenced, we just don't have a gate that closes it off from the road yet.
I would recommend you get someone out there that knows how to deal with rowdy mares if you want her inside. Chasing her is only going to make her more upset. Careful with hotwire; some horses have no regard for it when upset.
JDI got my response before I could.
Chasing her around is going to stress her and the baby out..
Maybe you can borrow pannels or something or set up some sort of lean to where she already is?
As far as hot wire goes, baby could dart outside of the hotwire and mama could go after...or she could just plow through it. Hot wire isn't too great for that kind of thing imo
Are they feral dogs or coyotes? Are they actually a threat?
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but we have wild dogs around here all the time and they're not a threat. Even when he was out on pasture where there are coyotes/wolves, there were enough homes and such close enough that they were never a problem. Just asking because it sounded like you were by a main road.
What if you just throw out a flake of hay and walk away for half an hour and let her settle down some. I dont know your mare but for some just munchin on some hay and having a chance to settle is all they need.
well, we want her to be hungry so she wants to come inside.
