Unexpected Training

Ok so the farrier came yestersay. He was working with / trimming the boarders mare at the time. I guess she did real good 3 out of 4 feet. I walked out there on the 4th foot and she was kicking at him every time he tried to pick it up. He popped her side with the rasp (in my book that's a huge no no) and straight up she went twice. Well I got him my Clinton Anderson stick and he was trying to work with her, (to no avail). I stepped in and said ok so there is one thing I'll take to my grave that I learned from all my Clinton seminars and that is if she wants to move her feet let's get them moving. I tried to tell him this prior to me going into the roundpen but he wasn't getting it. I took the stick and put the string back on it and said this is what I mean, and started working with her. He handed me the lead rope and said here you take her. So every time she kicked at the stick or string boy did she ever get to move those feet. After about 10 minutes she was no longer kicking the stick or string or anyone that touched her leg. So I picked up her back leg a few times with no issues, praised her for the correct behavior and asked the farrier I'd he wanted to try it again. He hesitated but did and there was no issue, she got trimmed and was then rewarded.
I talked with the farrier and boarder a while, talked horses and bloodlines and I went inside because everyone was done. Later, at feeding time, the boarder and I discussed the earlier events and about the farrier. Hr said he was very impressed with my performance and getting the horse to do what she was suppose to do. I told him that if his wifey, who is a dear friend,  didn't get a grip on being the alpha with yhese two horses (especially that colt) and put her foot down she was on the road to getting very hurt by one of thrm if not both. Bless her heart she loves to baby them and talk sweetly to them and that is not going to go far with teaching them manners or respect.  I told him that I know she thinks I'm mean when I correct them, and I do not hit them, but if they are not tsught then they are going to be horrible acting horses. He was in agreement. I will say that they have come a long way with those 2 horses. They behave much better. They are at my place working with them every single day.
They are good people and these 2 horses will never go anywhere else. All in all yesterday went pretty well.
