I've got a 12YO mare that every time I am bringing hay in she makes a break for the open gate. This started about a month ago and she got out. She didn't take off or anything just went on a little stroll around the place. After about 15 minutes I walked up to her, haltered her and led her back into the corral. I tied her for about an hour in there and than had to leave so I untied her.
She has since tried it every time I'm bringing the hay in. It's pretty difficult to be jumping on and off the tractor and opening gates, but this has never been a problem before, she would just move out of the way. She hasn't gotten out again, but she is for sure looking for that opening and I was wondering if there is a way to break this or if I am just going to have to take the extra time and tie her while I'm doing it.
