Domineering... Sounds like my horse. Ever seen a horse snarl? Dixie knows how... They call her Sybil where I keep her. Evil... But anyway. That's good that you don't plan on riding her anytime soon. It's ok for her to be pushy with other horses(in the pasture only), but not while you are around her, messing with her. That can get dangerous if you don't show her who is boss now. If she ever goes to try to nip you or shove you, use the loud universal no "ack" and give her a smack on the nose. It's not a bad practice, it's not hitting, it's cause and effect and she will get the point. She nips/pushes, gets a resounding smack on the nose. If she has any of these problems, it's good to correct them now, so you don't have to keep worrying about it later on when she's older. Also, make sure to pick up her feet alot and handle them, not just pick them out. Hold them like the farrier would so he won't have to sedate her. Hmm... What else... Just pretty much touch her EVERYWHERE. Get her used to people touching her butt and her udder. Mine loves her udder to be washed.. Weirdo... She'll lift her back leg up and sideways so I can get at it better. Try getting her used to clippers slowly, so you can clip her mane where the saddlepads sit and her poll where the bridle sits so it won't rub the hair all goofy. Makes it look so nice for a parade too. Well, it's late, and I need to get to bed. If you have any other questions just let me know.

Oh! I almost forgot. This was the most adorable thing. I was holding my boyfriend's roomate's BP and while I was laying on the bed, he curled around my "girls" LoL, put his head under my hand and fell asleep. He was there, in the same place, for probably 45 minutes. He's such a sweet snake. Well, that was my fun and exciting night. Ya'll have a great Halloween and I will have pictures next Thursday of my snakie in a pumpkin :-D
