i will have to move molly.
Gaynor went out lunchtime ish to get them both in - she had the day off, so the plan was she would work charlie in the afternoon, then i could do something with molly in ther evening after work...
molly firstly circled round charlie and wouldn't let gaynor near him.
then when she did get him, molly started kicking at her (or at charlie, or both, not wholly sure about that!)
then eventually near the gate she got head collar on molly - who then bit her!
then on the track back along molly was behaving like a right ...cow, to be blunt! fortunately charlie was behaving! had to stand 5 minutes whilst molly pratted about!
kept trying to kick gaynor whilst being walked along
then bucked and messed about in the stable (till she twigged there was some feed...)
butter wouldn't melt, tonight, of course...
anyway, we think there's two causes for this
1. molly being possessive
2. they have no other company in a very big field.
anyone think of any other cause?

Alpha mare rears her ugly head....Molly seems to be demanding dominance.
For safety's sake, Gaynor may want to carry a dressage whip when she goes to get Charlie. Perhaps a warning tap to Princess Molly might make and impression to remind her of her manners.
