moving around the pen perhaps you haven't perfected your body language or breathing control. Practice in front of a mirror & compare your technique with Monty's. If the filly, not officially a mare until age of 5, is resisting moving try plastic on a long, light pole. Start quite gently but if she fails to move go quite aggressively shaking the plastic - if you up the ante progressively you will desensitise her & you will want to do that later in her training. My Humphrey would only move when I took a plastic feed sack & cracked it like a pillow case being pegged on a washing line. Hope you find this helpful. Keep us advised on how you get on. Cheers, Jo.
