Natasha from Surrey asks Melanie
“I’ve got a nearly 5 year old tb mare. She didn’t had a good time in the racing yard. She puts her ears back on anything (it is better now then it was 6 month ago) she also bites. She just bites after everybody who walks past when she’s in the stable. I really do love her and I want her to stop that and enjoy her self. She’s aright when she’s tacked up she even puts her head on my chest and wants a cuddle. Please can you help me and my mare?”
Natasha.
Melanie’s Response
“Hi Natasha, thank you for your email. Your mare bites out of habit stemming from a time where she felt she had to defend herself. Life has not always been kind to her most probably. Some mares, on the other hand, are very dominant and habitually bite as a role play in being in charge of you and what they consider to be their space.
I would really claim to be able to stop your mare from biting forever in 1 days work. During this day we will turn your relationship right round to where she looks to you as her leader and a really safe place to be.
You would have a great day with plenty of laughs and smiles as well as the serious side.”
Melanie
