Ah, now we get (I think) why Karilla goes gorilla if anyone touches her horse. My sympathy's with Jennifer though - you can't do that to a horse.

An old friend of mine was of the "horsey" sort & she told me at the stables she kept her randy old psychopath of a steed that you could always tell at weekends which horses' owners hadn't been up to ride them. They'd be restless & at times bolshie (not so good if you're having to muck out others stables as part of the way of paying your stabling fees!), particularly if the ones stabled next to them had been getting attention.

No matter what any owner may claim, most horses are spoiled rotten, & get the stropes if they're denied attention, especially if they see the owner giving it to another horse. Considering those ranch horses all come from broken backgrounds, I'd have called Jennifer as well within her rights to do what needed to be done to prevent Raven from perhaps reverting back to previous bad behaviour from the anxiety of fearing rejection again.
