I just got her she is 3 and runs away when I fill up her water bowl and when the sprinklers come on. She starts bucking and running in the pasture? How to wash her if she is scared of water. I'm guessing she had a bad experience in the past the people I got her from say they've only washed her once... She needs it bad.. her tail looks like a giant knot... any ideas in getting it out without cutting it.. I did have to cut a piece of it there was a piece of barbed wire wound up through the middle of her tail that i had to cut out already. she has not been brushed or bathed in about a year and a half.
