I am now very happy. He is progressing and she gets to see the real Koda.
Marie,
You can be proud of your boy again today. He was an absolute gentleman with George and has nice new feet to show for it. i had told George that he might be a little nervous since he was not sure that new people could be trusted. That said, I handed him off to George's wife and my friend, Sue and they went to work. I stood back and watched. Koda handed each foot to George and stood motionless for the whole trim. We all told him how wonderful he was and Sue put him up in his stall.
Yesterday when we worked in the pouring rain and mud, he drove all over the yard (the roundpen is unusable). There are six big barrels that i am going to use for a hazard. They are currently "parked" by the garage. They don't belong there and haven't been there before so are very suspicious. Took some doing, but we finally passed them quietly. After that we went and got the poles and drove all over with the poles dragging. I made sure to drive him across the sidewalk and through the gravel drive so as to make all the strange noise I could. I did tight turns and stops so as to have the poles touch him both sides. I think he is ready to try the cart as soon as the ground is ready to drive on. I am sure the Koda I'm now seeing is the one you know and love.

ps: I think he may have lost just a little weight...maybe...
