You know, I swear, Starborne, that since I put the other broodmare back with the dam and filly that she's less feisty. May be my imagination as I've not spent as much time hanging about since busy...

I agree and all that -- but ... I *missed* the 'first time' b/c I am a doof and hesitated on reacting when she first tried it. Then I've felt a little paralyzed the other couple times that...
