"How can I stop her from pinning her ears?"

 
 

Dear Keith...

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

I have a 22 yr. old mare who pins her ears whenever we come out to the barnyard, she never kicks or tries to bite us but she sure looks like she would? how can I stop her from pinning her ears whenever we go out ot feed her or come into close range of her? we have had her now for 8 yrs and she always pins her ears when we come out to her? why? and how can we stop her from pining her ears back, she looks like she is going to charge or bite us? but never has yet? thank you Felicia
