Pony is kept in a field with three others -no problems at all until I go to get my pony out. Nothing to do with catching, pony is a dream and always comes straight away. Trouble is the others all gather around the gate and block her way (particularly one who is the field boss!) and make it hard/dangerous to get her as they all (including mine!) threaten to kick each other, pull faces, charge about and squeal. I end up getting barged by scared pony or trying to duck out of the way of the madness. None of them are fed or treat fed in the field, they all just love human company and want to be first in line! If I have someone with me its not as bad as they can catch the field boss with a lead rope and get out of the way, but on my own its hard. Any tips?
