[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1014581, member: 6543"] Well If I am gleaning thru this thread correctly.... this is a seven month old stud colt who has not been handled or even had much direct human contact.... taking his mama away and replacing with a human is not going to result in an instant bond..... this is a trust building process....most of my horses are pmu babies that I got from Foal Quest a PMU rescue...I had three of them....all took time to establish the bond....time as in lots of time spent with them....they have to learn about who and what you are....they have to learn to repect your space without learning to fear you.....There is a wide range of reponse mechanisms between individual animals.....there are a wide range of paths to get to the desired result.....You have a chosen path.... but you deviated from it.... not the colt....so you have to make up that time to build the trust.....Plus there is the wild card that Arabs can be flighty and hyper sensitive. translation...even more time....you can find ways to push it...but you will be doing just that...pushing it.
