We never got to the bottom of the mystery orange smear, I’m beginning to think it must just have been where she rubbed her nose and still had paddock lick on it.
I am opting for the catching BG in her shelter and then hopefully moving it (catching her) back out into the field again. It’s rained recently though so the field shelter entrance is starting to puddle up again. This morning we let her through and she trotted across to her shelter to wait by the door and I decided to try the penned off area in the field again. Once she figured out that was where her food was going she followed me in as good as gold and the head collar went straight on. You could tell she wasn’t 100% sure on it but she didn’t protest.
So she had her breakfast and then the issues started. She would not let us get hold of her head collar to lead her back out and take it off. Unfortunately in the morning we have a time limit as we need to get to work so this wasn’t a good time for her to start stubbornly swinging her bottom round at us. Eventually we had to get some hay, use that to lure her into her shelter and catch her in there (which we almost couldn’t do either). I wouldn’t want to leave her with the head collar on.
Sorry, I’ve just realised how dull this must sound on this blog, all about head collar this and head collar that. Not the most exciting subject. It is the biggest day to day battle in mine and BG’s life though, except when she is being very good.
