It's raining today so I had a grooming and flexion session in the barn with Bonbon. She really enjoys being groomed, especially her head, and she loves her ears being pulled. She was a little tense through her neck so I did a little massage and she really stretched down and started chewing and swallowing.:-)
The dogs had been milling about all the time I was grooming her, and she wasn't at all bothered, but when I started on her head and face and she really relaxed, she started snazzing at them. Not sure if it's a possessive thing, but I know Corky does it with the other horses when Jim's in the stable with her. It's like she's very possessive of him.
Because she was relaxed, the bridle session was very good too, in fact the best we've had, and she released and relaxed her jaw the moment I asked. She gave me some nice flexions both sides. It was lovely, but, again, if the dogs came near, she started pinning her ears back and pushing her nose at them. She's done the same with Jim when I've been riding and he's been leading me in the school, she's been a little snazzy with him. I can't believe she's possessive of me, more likely the treats! :-o
Anyway a good session and I enjoyed it!

Wish isba was more touchy-feely. She has real issues with being touched. Interesting about the dynamic between you, Bonbon and the dog -I wouldn't rule out that she was being possessive of you not the treats....
LOL she's not a Daddies girl then!
hehe, don't know, just not sure she's a mummys girl either. :-)
