Does she run away every time or just every now and then? >From what I've read, it seems as if you and Gat have a wonderful relationship, so I'm not really suggesting that she is avoiding contact with you, so maybe when you get her home it will be a whole different scenario. Tosca was hard to catch at the breeders, but canters across the pasture to meet me and ran along the fence beside Bev, who was working on the other side, nickering "I;m here. I"m here." The odd TWH Hunter will most often see me coming, turn around and walk slowly to the far corner of the pasture. He will stop and turn to look at me, but won't approach till I have hiked clear across the pasture. I stop about 20 feet away and then he will walk quietly up to me and stand to be haltered. Then we walk a few feet and he stops, stretches and pees and gets a treat. He never ever misses. Nancy >
