Random question does she wear that around her head all the time?

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

She only wears her halter when she's out of her stall. Some people take halters off their horses when they put them outside to play and move around, but I don't just in case something happens and I need to get control of her quickly.

She can be very skittish at times, so being able to get control of her quickly is important. She's still getting used to being outside of her stall and interacting with people and being around other horses. She was in her stall without any interaction other than feeding, watering, and stall cleaning for a very very long time before another person and I started working with her.

She's comparable to a neglected, stray dog that is learning how to be loved by humans. She's doing remarkably well, but still has a long way to go with some things.

Interesting, thank you for answering, I hope she becomes less skittish for you overtime :)
