yes, i have a Dun horse now(i've been calling her a quarter horse, but she's really just a mixed breed). i was working with her yesterday after school, and we were fine together... she was happily eating and i was brushing her. but as soon as Mr Rempel left the barn she didn't like me anymore. she's only used to being around men and not girls. she started swinging her head and stomping her hoof and just trying to keep me away. i was wondering, is there any way that i can get her to like me... other than spending weeks with her? i'm supposed to take her home soon and i don't want her doing that around me, it makes me nervous. as soon as a guy came into the barn she was perfectly happy, but when i was alone with her she just started freaking out. well, please help me!

well you might try to do a bit of ground work when it the the 2 of you. Hopefully this will show her that she should respect. Once she has gained respect for you the jigging and change of behavior should stop. Hope this helps

you just need to work with her and work in the stabble just be around, i have a painted mustang from ok. and was broke and never worked again i had the same problem with her. but dont lose ya,alls temper and make the experience a good one. cowboy-up

Try to always be the one to feed your horse, groom it, spend time with it. Sometimes it takes months to get them to be attached to you. -Phillip

i've been working with her for 3 or 4 hours everyday after school, she's to the point where she'll come up to me and let me pat her and brush her without the halter on... she never did that before. so she is getting better, soon i'll start trying to lead her around and get her used to turning and stoping and everything, but not for a week or two. she's the most beautiful Dun i've ever seen^_^ she's not so popular around the other horses, but she loves being around people. she's going to be a good horse and a good friend.
