Awe, she just needs some TLC. Looks like she'll come around. When she relates you catching her with feeling better it will get easier each time. Here's a trick my llamas taught me...I come in looking like I might be interested in her, not hiding the halter but not purposely showing it to her either. Then act totally disinterested, maybe even turning your back to her. Occasionally turning your head to see her and then back again. Sometimes I softly sing or whistle. Eventually, every one of my animals has shown they can't resist knowing what I'm up to and slowly come up behind me and often right up beside me. I don't move fast. I might lightly pet or pat her on the back and talk softly and soothingly. I slowly work my one hand up her neck and slip the halter on slowly.May Patience and luck be on your side!
