Well not really. Sugar is a semi-feral Welsh Mountain pony and pretty feisty with it. There always seems to be a theme of the month and this time it is that if a prey animal feels that they can't run, they will fight instead; it should be no surprise. Sugar had learned that she could kick people out of her field. Out came my longest extending feather duster and once I had persuaded her that touch can be pleasant, it was fairly quick and straightforward to get to touching her with my hand, a scarf and putting her headcollar on (one and a half hours in total). Armed with a copy of No Fear, No Force, I am confident that her owner should be able to carry on.
