[QUOTE="Kelly, post: 52790, member: 314"] If you have a small area or stall you can try conditioning her to accept you walking up to her - touch her breifly & walk away. Then work up to a rub or brush on her a little more each time she stands and again walk away. You can give her a handful of grain occasionally & walk away. It may take quite a long time but the more you convince her that every time you go up to her you are not just going to catch her to ride or for farrier etc she should learn to like the attention. Let me know if this helps at all! Good luck - those older ones are the hardest! I know I have one! He is 34. I forgot to tell you don't look her in the eye and don't stand directly facing her - turn your body a little so she doesn't think you are challenging her, [/QUOTE]
