Resisting violently counts as not letting you do it. Being generally agitated, and resisting mildly counts as letting.
I agree. She wasn't even resisting mildly, which was awesome. She was just grazing the whole time which made it difficult lol. There are days where she doesn't want her mane brushed and she'll move away. She's never gotten very forceful with grooming, but I also never push her boundaries when she isn't in the mood to be groomed too much.
